I, too, am extra cautious mucking around in the battery/dc side.
Your Timetric will require a shunt. Any chance your installer left the shunts in your GSLC? If so maybe they are same size. Curious if your installer said it could be integrated into system function other than observation.
No clue how to use settings in a Grid tied / TOU system but confident you can. Should be able to start with some very generous settings not taxing the battery and adjust as you become comfortable. On my generator backup, I’m comfortable letting mine run down to about 30% SOC, 50.8 / 2hr, 50.4 / 2 min start. I don’t generator charge back to 100% but enough to get me into daylight (hopefully). Of course TOU might drive difference thinking. Some think the Lithium sweet spot is living between 80-20% SOC, but most import not staying at 100% or below 20% as being life shortening.
