# Why are my MS-7K-U batteries being force charged from the grid?
## Learn why MS-7K-U batteries may be force charged from the grid to 10% SOC or higher
In situations where the MS-7K-U batteries remain at a very low SOC for an extended time, the system may force charge the batteries from the grid to optimise battery performance and protection.
### Trigger
Force charging from the grid will start automatically if:
1. The battery SOC is **below 5%**, and
2. Remains under 5% for **24 hours**.
### Behaviour
Once triggered, the battery will automatically charge to:
1. **10% SOC**, or
2. The configured **Discharge Limit** (whichever is higher).
