FAQs

• Can you use the MidNite Solar CLASSIC 150-SL Charge Controllers with lithium batteries?
  Yes, you can use any of the MidNite Solar CLASSIC or CLASSIC SL charge controllers with lithium batteries as long as you have a Battery Management System (BMS).
• What is the max wire size the ground terminal will accept?
  The max wire size the ground terminal will accept is 1/0, however, for systems with a battery breaker sized 60 amps and smaller, 10 AWG (6 mm2) copper is generally sufficient. For systems with a battery breaker sized 100 amps and smaller, 8 AWG (10 mm2) copper is required. For grounding conductor requirements on your specific installation please consult your local electrical code.
• What is the max wire size the Battery and PV terminals will accept?
  The max wire size the Battery and PV terminals will accept is 6 AWG.
• Can I pair different MidNite Solar CLASSIC Charge Controllers (e.g. 150 and a 250) in a MASTER / SLAVE setup, or do they have to be the same voltage?
  Yes, you can pair different voltage CLASSIC Charge Controllers in a MASTER/SLAVE setup.
• Can I pair the MidNite Solar CLASSIC Charge Controller with the new MidNite Solar DIY inverters?
  No, you cannot pair the CLASSIC Charge Controller with the new DIY inverters.
• What happens when the voltage goes above the maximum voltage input on those cold mornings?
  On those days, the CLASSIC's HyperVOC would kick in and shut the charge controller down. Refer to the HyperVOC chart for the Non-Operational Range.
• While the MidNite Solar CLASSIC Charge Controller is charging the batteries, can I simultaneously charge my battery bank with a battery charger?
  Yes, you can simultaneously charge your battery bank while the MidNite Solar CLASSIC Charge Controller is charging. This is similar to having a generator work in tandem with the CLASSIC and just as with a generator, the CLASSIC will regulate and make the necessary adjustments when simultaneously using a battery charger.
• Can I setup the charge rate for the battery bank?
  Using the MidNite Solar MNWBJR and one of the MNSHUNTs, you can limit or control the battery current.
• Up to how many CLASSICs can I have in parallel?
  The manufacturer's recommended maximum number of CLASSICs in parallel is 50 units.
