I emailed Bogart Eng questioning my habit on their SC2030 controller. We'll see.
If you want to be really thorough in this quest for the truth, then ask them what people here are talking about - controller and panels without battery.
Like this: "What happens if I connect SC2030 straight to panels with no battery and no Trimetric"?
They will probably tell you that this controller is not designed to be used without Trimetric. What Tri does, is "controlling the controller". It detects the battery voltage and adjust everything in controller. So, with the Tri in the picture the experiment won't be conclusive.
The SC2030 is built to "stand alone". I ran mine for a week before I connected the TM2030. It has a Manuel 12/24 volt jumper that is ignored when the TM2030 is connected.
