 In order to make the calculation for you, you can also fill out the invoiced battery cost and the estimated amount of cycles the battery can do. Together with the filled out battery capacity this will calculate the price for you.
+To optimise battery life, it is recommended to regularly charge fully to 100% for a few hours. Additionally, setting a regular interval (like every 14 days) for full charges, known as the full charge interval, ensures consistent performance and longevity of the battery over time.
+If you enable this, you will need to the number of days between each battery balancing cycle. The system will then schedule the cheapest 2 hour slot to keep the batteries charged at 100%, allowing for the balancing to happen.
 ==== Step 3 and 4: Buy and sell prices ====
 For buying and selling you can either have dynamic (day ahead) prices or fixed prices (which can differ at different times / weekend vs weekdays). So first you need to fill out if you have fixed or dynamic pricing.
+UK Octopus users should fill out the dynamic prices (allowing them to fill out the account number and API key). Check [[drafts:dynamic_ess#uk|here]] for more specific UK Octopus info.

 You might also want to read the chapter on [[#determining_the_target_soc|determining the target SOC]], to get some more idea on how the algorithm determines the optimal (dis)charging path.
