Load Preference battery was created by EngineerStudent

Is it possible you can determine which load has priority on others?
For example: You have 1 battery 40% full and 2 loads, one important and one not (like in a hospital: life save equipment and lights) So when the battery can't provide both loads, can you choose which load has priority?

Thanks

Hello,

SAM does not have a mechanism for separating the electric load into separate loads with different priorities.

You can use the manual dispatch option to control when the battery is charged and discharged.

Best regards,
Paul.
