Winter battery charging at cottage

Days between bulk was added in 1609, so technically still beta.

Hopefully theyll add it to the local app soon so i can try it out.

We did move 1609 into production so that part is good. I will work on getting it in the Local App asap.

Ryan, what you propose accomplishes what I outlines without adding any hardware, but i thought I read somewhere that the days between bulk charges is a one-time setting that sets itself to zero after executing.
I can't find where I read that so it may be incorrect.
Does the days between bulk timer restart once a bulk and absorb is executed?

Yes

Yes "Days between Bulk" is in 1609 firmware and that is now considered Production Firmware. Yes Days between bulk is a re occurring thing so once the timer expires it will finish a bulk charge and reset the timer to start the process over. This was driven by Surrette and Chris Olsen and I see it as a VERY useful tool. Especially when combined with the WBjr so you have true End amps etc.

Perfect, will have to check this out the next trip to the boat. And yes this will be very useful for a lot of us that do not use our sites year round. Great job Midnite of listening to the customers and implementing solutions.

Anyone fully test this functionality yet?

OK thanks for the info.
A supplementary question - do I need to add the WBJR to properly implement end amps?
Currently the shunt in my Magnum panel is feeding a Magnum BMK battery monitor, so I don't really need the information provided by the WBJR, but I assume that the current feedback is necessary for the EA function.
Is that correct?

[Halfcrazy]

Yes for true End Amps you do need the WBjr.
