Mppt Controller mounting

Starting a new thread:
Is it OK to mount the controller(Morningstar TS-mppt45) in the front compartment(This is a FW) where the batteries are, they are in there own covered boxes and vented to the outside. That will put them within a foot of the controller. The compartment is open on both sides due to the propane tanks is there is ventilation.

  • You can mount the controller on a battery if you have AGMs. Well, not really.
  • That's what I would do. If it will give you more peace of mind, mount a small fan to blow fresh air in while charging. In that case I say blow in for positive pressure, forcing any acid fumes or hydrogen out the battery box vents.
