outback solar mppt controller
anyone had any experience with the outback mppt controllers? I see solar blvd has a 10A for $99 and a 20A for $149. the 20 A would be a nice update from the morningstar 15A at a reasonable price...

The way the Eco-Worthy works is it has two adjustable voltages. The first is for how high it will get the batteries in the first place (absorb voltage setting) this can be set as high as 15v. the next setting id for Float voltage which goes from about 13 to 14.5v.
This has been my understanding too. It can't stay at 14.5 for some time and then switch to 13.6 - or whatever Float you prefer.
Once hitting 14.5, it will switch to Float - that can be either normal 13-something (and then you have no Abs time but plenty of good Float time), or again 14-something (then you have plenty of Abs time and no "normal" Float time. Or something in between, i.e. it will switch to Float that is higher than normal Float for most conditions but lower than normal Abs.
