[RE-wrenches] apollo charge controllers

[toddcory at finestplanet.com]

So do the charge controller and amp hour meter communicate so they agree on when the batteries are fully charged?

We have a couple out in the field. A bit of hassle to upgrade the firmware at first, but Apollo was very helpful, and sent us a free interface to do the update.
I'm sure that's all cleared up for current versions, by now.

Now a couple of years later, we've had zero trouble, and we are running well over 70 amps continuous.
The wireless Trimetric meter option is a pretty good reason to use Apollo for off grid projects, too.

wondering if any wrenches have any opinions on the Apollo charge controllers T80 in particular.

I heard they had some technical issues not to long ago- is that resolved?


thanks,
