Hi @BLUETTI_CARE ,
I’m new to the Bluetti family and would like to submit a feature request. Two weeks ago, I purchased a Bluetti Elite 30 V2, which I’ve been thoroughly testing. So far, I’m very satisfied with the device, but I’ve noticed a few areas where it could be improved.
My request: Please add an option to configure SoC micro-cycles. Currently, this setting cannot be adjusted, which may lead to issues over time.
By micro-cycles, I’m referring to the small charge and discharge cycles that occur near a defined State of Charge (SoC) limit. For example, if the SoC upper limit is set to 80%, the system may continuously cycle between 80% → 79% → 80%, repeating over and over. This behavior occurs during both grid and solar charging.
I would therefore appreciate an additional setting in State of Charge (SoC) setting that allows users to customize SoC micro-cycle parameters.
Implementing this feature help extend the lifespan of the LiFePO₄ battery.
I hope Bluetti will consider my request and include this feature in a future update.
Kind regards,
Jason

Hi mr.stone, Thank you for your attention to BLUETTI.
The Elite 30 V2 supports 4 UPS modes. We recommend using the Customized UPS mode, where you can set the SOC value and choose whether to charge from the grid based on your needs.
Hi @BLUETTI_CARE Team,
I’m not sure if you understood my post correctly. It’s about a function to adjust the micro-cycle behavior 100% → 99% → 100%, not about changing the SoC setting.
In addition, I’m using the customized UPS mode with the settings shown below:

Hi @mr.stone ,
The units already do this in UPS mode, not by intention, but they do it.
Background:
The UPS bypass the exact load from the grid to the consumer. The powerstation does have a certain selfconsumption that will discharge the batterie over time. When the batterie falls under the provided soc value, the grid power will be also use to recharge the 1% loss. Exactly what you asking for.
Hi @Selfmadestrom,
That’s correct — that’s indeed what happens. However, this is harmful to the LiFePO₄ battery in the long term. I would like to be able to decide myself when the power station starts charging again, in order to extend the lifespan of the LiFePO₄ battery.
Example:
The SoC (State of Charge) is set to 20–80%.
Grid power
This is what happens now, on grid power: 80% → 79% → 80%
The battery is charged to 80%. Due to standby power loss, the charge level drops slightly to 79%, after which the battery charges again to 80%.
Solar power
This is what happens now, on solar power: 100% → 99% → 100%
The battery is charged to 100%. Due to standby power loss, the charge level drops slightly to 99%, after which the battery charges again to 100%.
Request
This is what I want, both on grid and solar power: 80% → 75% → 80%
The battery is charged to 80%. Due to standby power loss, the charge level drops further to 75%, after which the battery only starts charging again up to 80%.

Ahh okay, got it. That makes perfect sense
I was doing those sorts of routines with Home assistant on the AC300 because you can create rules based on battery percentage and you can control the UPS modes and limits so if you configure your UPS modes and peak and off-peak schedules in the App and then supplement them with HS routines and a smart plug you can accomplish quite a lot. It was also possible to schedule charging based on half hourly energy prices from my supplier using an integration.
It makes more sense to me at the moment that Bluetti focus on adding good cloud and local support for HA so those of us inclined can use a more complete software like HA rather than trying to solve all the problems in the Bluetti APP.
BTW Jason did you see this video about configuring UPS modes? Bluetti UPS Modes Explained
Hi @Sideeffect,
To be blunt, the adjustment for micro-cycle behavior should be implemented in the app, not in the HA (Home Assistant) integration. It should be accessible to everyone to adjust this setting. Additionally, it’s important that it works independently on every type of powerstation that Bluetti currently supports. It’s also worth noting that not every powerstation has Wi-Fi.
“It makes more sense to me at the moment that Bluetti focus on adding good cloud and local support for HA.”
As a fellow homelabber/tweaker, I disagree with you. A few enthusiastic people have requested this integration, but it’s mainly relevant for users with a powerstation over 3 kWh. For a portable powerstation under 2 kWh, it’s more of a nice extra for the homelabber, but certainly not something that would be important for the average user.
Moreover, the integration depends on the cloud. Bluetti has stated on GitHub that local API support won’t be available until sometime in Q2 2026 or later. link to GitHub
“BTW Jason did you see this video about configuring UPS modes? Bluetti UPS Modes Explained.”
Yes, I watched the video a week or two ago when I received my Elite 30 V2. The video is very informative, but I personally found it quite difficult to follow.
Your problems with micro cycling are due to having a small power station battery. I think you would have had a better experience going for something like the Elite 100 V2 rather than the Elite 30 for your use case as a UPS, and you are expecting too much from the Elite 30 which is more suited to day trips and emergency backup not as a permanent UPS.
Local support is coming to HA early next year from more recent reports on this forum. The Home Assistant discussion thread was one of the most active topics with a lot of views. In contrast I haven’t noticed much interest in micro cycling app configuration before even though I do see how it could be useful for smaller power stations.

Micro-cycles have nothing to do with the capacity of the powerstation, but with the starting and stopping cycles of the LiFePO₄ battery’s charging process. See my comment here; there I provide an example of how micro-cycles work.
Local support is coming to HA early next year from more recent reports on this forum.
The developer responsible for the Bluetti app and the Home Assistant integration on Bluetti’s official GitHub (in the repository of the Home Assistant integration) stated the following:
“We are also considering adding local Bluetooth communication, but this won’t happen so soon. Maybe it will be completed in the second half of 2026, or perhaps even later.”
This comment is two weeks old, and the official release of the Home Assistant integration was published about a month ago. Given the slow pace of progress in the development branch, I expect full Local API support to become available sometime in Q1 2027 or later.
In contrast I haven’t noticed much interest in micro cycling app configuration before, even though I do see how it could be useful for smaller power stations.
Again, this has nothing to do with the capacity of the powerstation. See my explanation here; there I provide an example of how micro-cycles work.
