Post by: Corndog on March 01, 2026, 12:02:15 PM
Hello,
I finally installed the Whizbang,
Can I ask -  it says (ON)(OFF). do I have this configured properly ? Copy and pasted from the Local App

AUX
AUX 1:  DIVERSION(Off)(Off)
AUX 2:  WHIZBANG JR(On)(Off)

Whizbang Jr.
System: 28.8A   Net Ah: 2Ah
Remaining Ah: 823Ah
SOC: 95%

Thank you

The Whizbang uses Aux 2 so you should have the purple wire from the Whizbang on Aux 2 connection in the Classic. Then yes select Whizbang for Aux 2 . You should see a whizbang junior screen on the MNGP and there is a setup section on there. I think you can do all the same setup in the Local Status app too. It might take a day to go through the cycle to get all your new settings calibrated so the SOC starts working okay .

Thank you , I was confused by the ON/OFF under aux 2 on the local app.  Was not sure if it should say ON/ON.

I just looked at Local Status app on my Classic and on the Config / Advanced menu the Aux 2 is set Whizgang Jr  Auto
Scroll down the page and there is section Battery Status Meter  where you set Efficiency  Capacity AH and temp %/C ( look up your batteries and see what they say - it may be the default for that temp setting . And the temperature setting is different that the Temperature compensation setting for charging .

With AUX2 set to WBjr OFF/ON/AUTO is ignored...
