      Hypervolt Charging Modes

      Explore Hypervolt’s four charging modes: Boost, Eco, Super-Eco, and Battery-Safe, how they work and when to use them.

      Selecting Charging Modes

      To open the charging mode menu, press the left 'Select Charging Mode' button. 

      Charging Modes

      Mode: Boost

      • Boost offers the fastest rate of charge!
      • Harnessing any available power sources to offer a maximum charge at 32A, including energy derived from home battery storage systems or solar panels. 
      • Surplus energy is prioritised over imported grid power. The Hypervolt will preferentially use power exported from solar panels before drawing power from the grid. 

      Tip: If you do not have home power generation (solar, hydro, wind, etc) or a home battery system we recommend only using Boost Mode.

      Mode: Eco

      • Eco guarantees a minimum charge rate of 1.4kW, the minimum rate of charge required to maintain smooth charging for EV's, without interruptions.
      • Designed to maximise the use of solar generation whilst minimising the reliance on grid power import.
      • If the power generated from local sources like solar panels or home batteries exceeds the 1.4kW, the Hypervolt will use all available export energy, up to 7.4kW to the vehicle.

      Mode: Super-Eco

      • Super-Eco is designed for charging using only home/solar generation. 
      • No energy is drawn from the grid, offering users the freedom to charge their vehicle using free home generated power, including solar output and home battery storage. 
      • A minimum surplus of approximately 1.4kW, is required to activate charging. If the grid  export does not exceed 1.4kW, charging will not start!

      Tip: If your app shows solar charging when no surplus is available (e.g. at night), the CT clamp may be installed in reverse. This causes the system to misread imported grid energy as exported solar energy. If you suspect this, contact Hypervolt Support for assistance.

      Mode: Battery-Safe

      • Battery-Safe is an advanced feature that builds upon the principles of Super-Eco.
      • Offering an extra layer of control for your EV charging system by monitoring its status and pausing the charging process if it detects that the battery is unintentionally draining. 
      • A minimum surplus of approximately 1.9kW, is required to activate charging. If the grid  export does not exceed 1.9kW, charging will not start!

      For more information on how to prevent unwanted battery drain, please see: Preventing Unwanted Battery Drain

      Tip: If you can't see the Battery-Safe mode, check that your home battery system is correctly configured in the app. For more information, see out Home Battery System Setup.

      Warning: Battery-Safe mode is only available if:

      • You are using app version 6 or later, and device firmware version 2966 or above.

      • Your Home Battery System Setup is configured in the app.
