Hi, I have been reading the Classic manual but are not completely sure about the difference between Opportunity Hi and Diversion.
I'm turning a SSR on once the batteries are full and then off when they are say 90% SOC. If the sun is good, this could be most of the afternoon before the voltage signals 90% as my pv array is nearly 2kw and my diversion load is 900w.
Hopefully this operation won't interfere with the absorb, float, bulk, and equalize too much but it looks like Opportunity Hi somehow allows that to happen still. I also notice Waste Not in some manuals. I'll check which mine has in the weekend but guess its the same as opportunity Hi but just a different name.
Thanks,

At some point a couple years back oppurtuniy was renamed waste not.

Yeah, I think it was Opportunity in the manual only.  I don't think the Classic MNGP itself ever said Opportunity.

It was always intended to be Waste Not.  So much for the two departments knowing what the other
was thinking !

We've been using Waste-not, sometimes called "Use it or Lose it" mode. (Youie-Louie, sort of like the song, Louie-Louie).  If you google this board for those titles, you'll find more.  We've been using Waste-not for a few years now to divert excess to water pre-heating.  It works great.  Waste-not allows you to set a diversion voltage relative to your charge settings.

Good luck, ~ks

YES !  Youie-Louie !  That was supposed to be just like you said !  I'm glad someone appreciates that one !

Appreciated, except for the fact that I had that damn song in my head most of the afternoon yesterday.

I digress.  My wife & I, and a former colleague, who since has moved, used to play this cruel (but immensely enjoyable) game where one would hum, sing or whistle a particularly relatable tune in the presence of the other(s).  One hit, pop songs work great.  To one-up this, you would then come back with another recognizable, but annoying tune - the goal was to get everyone stuck on the same tune.  Example: "Tell me why, Ain't nothin' but a heartache, Tell me why, Ain't nothin' but a mistake..."

Gooday!
