Users asked how evcc's phase switching interacts with chargers that have built-in load balancing and whether there's a conflict.

Added a dedicated section to both German and English load management pages explaining:

  • Chargers with built-in load management should have those features disabled
  • evcc expects devices to follow its commands directly
  • Other configurations require thorough user testing

The new section is placed between "Phase Switching" and "Restrictions".

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Documentation: Load Balancing</issue_title>
<issue_description>Phase switching is described clearly, but how does it interact with chargers that have built-in load balancing?

Is there a potential conflict between these two functions?
If so, is it recommended to disable one of them, and if yes, which one?

It would be helpful to include an explanation of how phase switching and load balancing behave when used together, and any recommended configuration or best practices.</issue_description>

<agent_instructions>Add this information as an info to the load management page.</agent_instructions>

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@naltatis @premultiply can you provide input here? @premultiply Yes, it is strongly recommended to use as dumb as possible chargers or a configuration on charger side without any own "intellegence".

evcc always expects that a device is following its commands only.

Other configurations have to be intensivly tested on your own.</comment_new>
