I've had my 3 Classics (2 150s and a 200) operating on "follow me" for a while now and I'm not seeing much comment here on this, so I thought I'd start one. I'm finding this working very well! It completely solves one of my classic problems: when the controllers reached absorption one would eventually shirk its job going to 0 W which met its minimum amps criteria, and into float it would go... Of course this was only a problem If we then used a large load, you know the kind. With follow me as well as the V max, I reach minimum absorption time at least on all 3 and they go to float as a winning team. I'm looking forward to seeing how well this works when I began running my three-phase irrigation pumps. Looks like this will be a big, welcome improvement. Thanks boB and friends.

Lance;

I definitely agree the "Follow Me" option is pretty slick.

Been running it on 2 Classics here for awhile and it just makes a lot of sense.

I don't have any special need for it but it is nice that they don't end up in different charge modes.
