# 3. Battery (ESS) Dashboard

The b**attery** dashboard displays the state and performance of the energy storage system:

* **State of charge (SOC)** gauge and bars indicating charge/discharge energy, daily cycles and available energy
* **Battery traffic** – stacked bar chart showing charging and discharging power with a line representing SOC
* **Component details** – lists each battery module (e.g., CBMS1, CBMS2) with SOC, status, dischargeable energy, current, voltage and temperature. The DC converter section shows inverter power, voltage and current

In the top-right corner, you can choose your preferred view: each battery separately or all batteries combined.
