The customer said <br> he had to reset the controller several times through the day. After <br> every reset, full amperage was delivered and the controller would <br> eventually transition to absorb and float. I replaced the controller <br> from stock and put it on the bench. It works just fine with no other <br> equipment attached to the battery.<br> <br> My question is about the auto restart mode. Default is 0. Should Mode <br> 0 continue to track the Vmp thru the day or must one use mode 1 and <br> force restarts? The MX60 had a Sweep Interval that could be programmed <br> for every few minutes. Has this been replaced by the Auto Restart Mode?<br> <br> Larry<br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> List sponsored by Home Power magazine<br> <br> List Address: <a href="mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> Options & settings:<br> <a href="http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org">http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> List-Archive: <a href="http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org">http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> List rules & etiquette:<br> <a href="http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm">www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm</a><br> <br> Check out participant bios:<br> <a href="http://www.members.re-wrenches.org">www.members.re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> </font> </p> </div> <pre>MESSAGE CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE:
