My fault - shouldn't have assumed reading between the lines.
What this controller can't do, is Abs time and temp comp. Few people mentioned this before you've bought it.
When alternator has 6ga wire, it works sort of like a generator - better than 7-pin, still not good if you want a full charge in a reasonable time.
Yes well the whole thing with me is I dont want a gen.. For one its a pain to lug around, and two I have a one stage charger.. 12 amps max @ 13.6 volts.. So if I went generator I would have to upgrade the converter..
Solar was not an option for me either due to money also.. But Panel and wiring I got for free..
The controller may not be able to do absorb time but as stated that may not be a good thing if it could. The morning star some said has a 3 hr abs time.. Thats not good, and the only way to adjust is to get the computer hook up thing... More money..
So to compensate I just set the float higher as stated when it comes out of bulk..
