    800 W is que conservative for a schucko plug, which is typically rated for 13 or 16 A (>3000 W). I regularly charge the car at 10 amps (2400 W) on a schucko.

      Yes! However, we are not allowed in Germany to use more than >800W on a Battery with a Schuko Plug, without a certified electrician. Everything is regulated! :D

      I have been waiting for the electrician to hardwire the battery for about six months. He said he would stop by next week. Once he has done that, I will increase the maximum charge/discharge power to 1500 W (conservative, I know, but I think I don't need more to fully charge/discharge the battery on regular days).

        I don't think this is a Schuko limitation... 800W is a limit that you can send back to the grid without having a properly registered PV plant with a normal inverter. Your meter might disconnect you if you try to send more.

          Yes, sorry. I think it is a battery policy regulation in Germany that prevents >800W.
