MS SS-10L Solar Controller and New Batteries
We're replacing the 2 12V batteries in my sons 5er with 2 GC2 batteries, 232AH. The solar setup is 2 80W panels at 9.4A total. The current controller is a MS SS-10L. The manual indicates that this controller is a constant voltage controller at 14.4V. Apparently no float voltage and this concerns me since the rig is stored for months at at time with plenty of sun available.
Am I over concerned about this controller and should it be replaced along with the new batteries? I could ask my son to turn off the solar when stored but prefer a more seamless operation.
If replacement is called for then with which one? We don't want to spend to much as there may be a future solar update that would require another controller at that point.
