You mention that you are successfully running an aux charger, is it this model or something else?





Thanks again for more insight,

Yes, you run this in parallel with the controller. Both will charge the system.

The controller still has a possibility of entering the thermal protection modes but it significantly increases the time it takes to enter those modes.

As for my aux charger? No, I don't have this one. Rob used to make them and about 8-10 of us are running them. They even tied into the controller.

I think due to cost and time he saw that these do the same for a lot less.
