Thanks for the update. Still seems like a lot of money compared with $102 for the Eco Worthy, which does have set points you can pick with no remote required to set those.
It is more money that the Ecoworthy, but you also get a lot more for your money. You get almost 60v more headroom. You get a controller that isn't going to derate when the sun shines on it. You get a battery temp sensor. You get communication and data logging. You get a 5-year warranty (don't know what Ecoworthy offers). You get full conformal coating, fault protection, user-upgradable firmware. The Rogue consumes about half of the standby power. It also has 14 setpoints, but yes, you must use an external device to change most of them. There are four pre-programmed charging profiles that cover most battery types, which can be selected by DIP switch without any other attachment.
