if you take them apart you will find they have an aluminum plate in the back. I thermal pasted the plate to the back of the case then thermal pasted a heat sink on the back side of the controller. Now the fans do not run so often.

[@neilmayo6868]

I have three of these, They are doing great so far, I mounted them with spacers about an inch off the wall and have an extra fan running on them. I'm testing them with different loads on them. They seem to work best with 2000 watts or lower.

[@Sinii-m6h]

Agree with you. i got a V125 type recently. It works so well now.

[@mdnazmul-mianazmul1401]

Very good that tank boxes or DC 380v power supply inverter. Good. And controller of everything small small machine windows are in installed. Thank you for this wonderful watching.

I have a 40A MSB I bought last fall on a 60V array. Very poor tracking if you have any shading at all. Mine will drop down to 17V and not recover unless the panels are disconnected. Had to build a microprocessor to sense panel voltage. If voltage drops to 40V for more than a minute, it disconnects the panels for 30 seconds. Frankly, when I get back to camp I am selling it. Too bad, I like the hardware side of it but the software is crap. I've seen numerous problems. Most people aren't smart enough or spend enough time to notice when it is confused. It had nothing on my home built charge controllers. This is just not a company ready for prime time.

Hi,I have the same in a 48v system,can you please me show the parameters on D01,D02 and D03,please. Thanks

Hi,I have msb controller v117,the LCD control buttons are not working. Can it be repair

[@manuelg9367]

How long did these last you? Im looking for something dependable.

[@bjsamole2472]

Wait till you have had it for a few months... Monitor the voltages carefully. MSB will not honor warranty either.

[@ambersmith6517]

I have the same charge controllers instruction booklet says it does multiples of a single battery voltage but mine show the actual voltage of all 4 batteries together and also those connectors are so so small but they do give you two of them and you need to use both of them or your wire is going to be too small for the amperage going to have a hot wire don't want that burn your house down

Hey we're glad to see you back by the way we really miss you when you're gone

[@hectormartinez7092]

Hi, really informative video, thanks for sharing your experience with these CC, my question would be: Can I charge my battery bank (18650's) Wich are 16S80P up to 64V? (4V per pack). Thanks in advance.

[@bigstagsgarage2285]

I max my 30amp make sky blue charge contoller out. 80v at 36 amps. It's been running like that for over a yr. Only issue I have is the fan is starting to get loud and I will need to change it out. Maybe your sales rep could help me out?

[@gamesoldiers1902]

what amp fuse breaker are you using i am using a 4000 watt 36v inverter with the same make skyblue charge controller ?

[@johnnymunn]

Is it normal for a 8000w LF 24v inverter in ups mode for the battery to be at 28.4 and varying?

[@neliosamch3195]

I have 4 of these controller s and my most accurate meter fluke 17b read 55.00 volts but none of the controllers have same readings. Do you have any suggestion how to adjust the meter on these controllers?

[@francisdoll1253]

You can adjust voltage reading in the prog Menu in d06

I have two makeskyblu charge controllers and a 3000w-6000w power jack almost looks like your setup

[@solarandwindinsouthtexasda1473]

What type of batteries are you using I know you're a 48 volt but what kind are they

[@solarandwindinsouthtexasda1473]

Nice

[@tahirkhan4287]

You have 96v controller in make sky blue....?

[@DavidSmith-dm8ew]

What batteries are you using?

[@primitivebob8781]

We are about to hook our MSB controller up. I will report the good news as it occurs.

[@GenetrySolar]

Thank you

[@lysol7204]

Powerjack inverter turned on with 1000 load connected, shut down with a continuous beep!! This is the SECOND TIME, first time it cost $100 for a new main board... Cant recomend ANYTHING by powerjack anymore sadly. All it does is turn on for 2 seconds then shuts off with the fan on And continuous beep. Its an 8000 wtt dual phase.... They are simply NOT dependable.

[@terryswallace]

Do the fans run all the time?

[@bigstagsgarage2285]

Only when they get warm or when your supply is higher then the demand and they run more offten.

[@terryswallace]

@@bigstagsgarage2285 ok, they are loud...lol

[@bigstagsgarage2285]

@@terryswallace he may have the inverter fans on in the video and that's probably the lound fan noise. The charge controller fans are not that lound a they are only like a 2 inch fan. Mines just starting to get loud after a yr of bing in a dusty desert climate.

[@GenetrySolar]

Correct. Inverter fans are on
