The MN crew is obviously very busy doing Inverters,  but nice to see boB and Ryan back here in the past few days.

Dunno,  Good luck!   Vic

The inductors can stay warm because of ripple current through them.

Did you wait a while for the temps to come down or did it stay at 145 ?

Two Classics is why the one stayed on.  The newer code will stop the unproductive
Classic from staying on more than 10 or 15 minutes in this situation.

It doesn't hurt anything for that Classic to stay on but it is certainly more
desirable for it to go off.

You could also adjust the battery voltage reading in the tweaks menu so they share
but if one Classic is keeping the battery in Float without working very hard then
it's better for the second Classic to just go to resting.

I have seen it now resting mid-day when the pumps are off.   I have another brand of CC, so the sensed battery voltage is the only communication.

I see there is a new FW beta from Mario [ Firmware Rev 1820 Beta ] but I don't see any topics listed that would entice me to drag the laptop out and hook it up.   
Anything behind the scenes that would help Vbatt > Vfloat resting mode ?

edit:
[ now I see the FW is for the KID,   nevermind.  MNKID_Firmware_1820.fup ]
