MNGP2 specific / Re: Mounting stand-alone MNGP2

This is what I hear from the voice on high...


"Every MNGP2 that ships without a Rosie, ships with a wall mount"

So I presume you can buy just this box, too.

There  IS  a side mount for the Rosie but not what you are looking for I don't think.

HMMMM? The Rosie manual shows a Classic controller attached to the right side, but doesn't show the bracket or an MNGP2.  I don't see it as an available option online.  Would you happen to have a picture of it w/qn MNGP2 attached and is it available to the public?  Thanks boB so much!!!

Midnite DIY Series / MNE125DIY-120S still available...

Last post by Saggys - April 13, 2024, 07:47:24 PM

Is it still possible to purchase a MNE125DIY-120S? I see the panel for the 24 volt model is still available.
Vendors list the MNS-11303 as a replacement? I really would like to stay with the original. Do you guys have one laying around in the back room you could part with?

The "Classic" charge controller / Re: New LiFePO4 installation c...

OK thank you Muskoka.

My 200 here is in Lithium mode and SOC appears to run fine.

The capacity is set to 100 Amp-Hours and has not changed back to 400.

Weird stuff happening but SOC "should" not change the way it works.

Will figure it out before we release it.

I really appreciate your help.

I have about 10 to 20 feet of cat five cable on mine and it works fine. Also updates through it too.

Got sun today, soc not acting correct, total ah of the bank was set correctly, then reverted back to 400ah on it's own.

I've switched back to Flooded, everything seems stable, working better, in that mode. At least when I set the bank ah to 280 it stays there. It's more important to me that I know, or at least have an accurate count of ah in, ah out, so I'll leave it on Flooded for now. I can't use my system blindly, I need accurate soc, ah counts, in, out.

Mine just lays on my desk and is moved around all the time to other places to get out of my way . It looks like it would be easy to just put a couple screws through the existing holes on it to mount on a wall - though you would need a couple pieces of wood strips on the edges to hold it out far enough because the connector on the back sticks out.
I would consider mounting mine on the wall but it is in my room and I put a rag over the display at night to darken it . One of the previous firmware updates made it so it is less bright but for some reason it has never been made so the backlight will go totally dark on timeout like the Classic one does. Maybe a hardware reason with that backlight dim ?
Anyway I should screw it up out of the way one of these days !

Hi Larry, yes, I thought it would probably be rolling around on my desk as well!  I looked at a couple plastic boxes at Home Depot, but just didn't see what would work well AND look good! LOL Did I mention I wanted it to look good too?  Midnite did such a good job w/the design of the Rosie/Barcelona/HB line, I hate to do my usual 'just throw it up with whatever I have'.  I have a shielded Cat6A wired from the shop to my house office, so I could remote to there if I its not too far to maintain the 9V power. Thanks for the reply

Great question.  I have wondered that too. 

Guess nobody asked to do that before ?

I'll ask.

Thanks boB!  I figured the Midnite Engineers had a few hanging on the wall in their test locations and could share a picture or two.  Will be great to see what they came up with ))))
