See issue #31099. The minimum-SOC based approach conflicts with Victron DESS. This adds an optional approach to adjust the battery setpoint by the current EVCC charging power so the battery ignores it.

Is this only relevant for hold discharge mode or also the other modes? (Hold charge, force charge)

We could use the same method for each of them. The tricky part is that a Victron system typically operates based on a grid setpoint unless you put it in very low level control mode. So the concept of hold charge/discharge is not that easy to implement. This method does it by increasing the grid setpoint by the amount of power being used for charging.

A force charge in Victron terms means setting the grid setpoint to for example 5 kW import, and then the battery charges with 5 kW minus the household usage.
