The beauty of the Trimetric 2030 is that it ties into the battery monitor to better control the charge rate.
I don't understand about this being tied into monitor for better control.
The monitor will tell the controller when the battery is full. This allows for automatic extended absorption time during heavy use and very short absorption when in storage or light use. No sense in having the battery at 14.8 volts three hours every day when in storage. Like wise some controllers drop to float as soon as they hit the voltage set point and will be a bit weak while in use.
Excellent system IMO. Morningstar adjusts absorption based on the start voltage of the day but this Trimetric sounds even better.
