Looking for a couple tidbits of info from anyone using the Conext Battery Monitor with their Schneider charge controller. Schneider is sending me their Monitor to install with my new XW system. I will continue to use my MPPT-60-150 charge controller.
With the latest firmware does the battery monitor take over the charging parameters of the CC and control when it goes to float? For example, can I configure it to put back say 110% of the amp hours removed from the previous charge cycle? To do this currently (using my Bogart battery monitor) I have to set the CC float voltage to the same as my absorb voltage (during the summer I use a lower voltage than absorb).
This battery monitor has leads for midpoint voltages. Obviously this is a great feature for parallel strings of batteries. I only have one string. The manual though shows an illustration for installing the midpoint battery leads in both parallel strings and just one string. What would I possibly gain by knowing midpoint voltages in my single string of batteries?
Thanks for any info.
