Great video!! I just received my Classic 150 SL controller ..do you have the option of the auto Equalization? Mine dosint have that auto option ? Mine just has the Manual option!! ? I’m just wondering if they took out the auto option out of the firmware?

[@MicahGallant]

I don't recall now, I've switched away from this to an epever unit

I have a battery bank of 10 12V 70A each. can this charge controller charge them with no problem ? thanks

[@blindliquor1]

Did the blue battery temperature sensor come with the classic or did you have to buy it separate?

[@MicahGallant]

came with it.

I just bought the same one and it came with a 75 page book. I'm not tech savvy. might be sorry I bought this. If you have to down load something on a piece of equipment I think it's just wrong ,. When spending this much money on something it should be set up.

i do tend to agree. And depending on your needs, there are cheaper alternatives. I like epsolar products. I have a 20 amp model, its worked day and night for must be 6 or 7 years now flawlessly. MPPT controller. Highly recommended.

Why is it that none of these midnight classic videos ( not even their protect guy ) show how to program the battery type. I downloaded the manual. It shows toggle switches on the first version ( I wish the classic 200 had ), but the newer versions you have to use the programming for. Even the lithium battery videos don't show how they programmed it for the lithium battery type.

This was not a set up at all. You didn't show anyone how to set anything up. This was just a review.

[@offgridwanabe]

you are a lucky guy.... expensive toy.

[@MicahGallant]

Sweet little unit for sure - will have a number of vids coming out about all its various features, it has a good number of them which make it stand out from many of the others on the market!

[@offgridwanabe]

@@MicahGallant yes the fact that it has ground fault and arc fault included makes the price more bearable.

[@MicahGallant]

@drew michael ha! well the airstream isn't for sale unfortunately for you :D Its a great little camper though

[@MicahGallant]

@drew michael oh wow! Ya mine didn't cost that much ;) I found mine for $2500 in a field. I was willing to do some frame welding work etc on it, and it had 5 colonies of Ants in it :D If you're willing to put in some elbow grease, you can always find stuff cheaper for sure! I intend that when i'm done, this be worth ... 20k anyways.

drew michael mine is about 4000 pounds. Its a tradewind, 25 foot. Airstream landyacht. I have a Honda Pilot to tow it. Most of the camper is torn out so I expect it’s under 4000 pounds right now
