Hi solar blue,

Believe that that setting is the temperature at which the Classic will stop charging the battery.   This would be used to keep the Classic's charging from heating the battery above that set temperature.

That very high setting is meant to disable this function,  unless the user sets it to a value of choice.

To see the temperature of the battery,   as measured by the BTS,  go to the " Temps " menu.   At the lower left of the MNGP display on the Classic,  you will see battery temp,   or similar.   This reading is in degrees C.

Good that your SGs are looking good.    Vic

Hi Wayne,

170 should be fine ...  believe that setting is also in degrees C.   So it is the Default setting,  to make sure that it will never become active unless the battery is on fire.   Should be fine as it is,   unless you have a concern about your battery getting overcharged and becoming very hot.

Great news that your system is working so well for you  --  good work!

We are all learning,   and getting help from others here,   and elsewhere.
Have Fun,   Vic
