Classic plus WBjr = A great Team!

Just added 2.1 kW STC of PV this past weekend.

As much as I wanted to snag an additional Classic 150,  or at least shovel 5.25 kW STC into the single Cl 150 on this system,  decided to try one Classic 150 plus the MX-60 (the back-up CC).

Was quite happy that the Classic + WB team used the TOTAL charge current into the battery,  and did not terminate Absorb until the combined charge current reached the EA value.   Very slick!

At this point,  the MX-60 behaves well with the Classic -- the MX is set to continue Bulking with a bit higher Vabs than on the Classic,  while the Cl is in Absorb.

Both CCs use EA,  and the combo is nirvana.  Presently,  the settings are for an A/C running constantly,  and may need a tweak or two for different load situations, as the venerable MX-60 does not know about actual battery charge current.

Thanks again MidNite for making the WBjr such a capable current monitor,  with better and better functions being added to make it even better.

The WBs on Classics here were optional at the time,  but quite well worth the low price.  Even better that the WB is now bundled with standard Classics.

Thanks again,    FWIW   Vic
