Just for clarification the 'Solar Station Monitor' program only allows you to turn on/off the Load, which I am going to try next, just to see if that works. You are incorrect, it can do much more. It will be under software downloads www.renogy.com/learn/#tab_downloadsBottom left SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS The monitoring software needs to be opened with "7zip" software Renogy Commander MPPT Charge Controller solar Monitoring Software Rover 20Amp /40Amp MPPT Solar Charge Controller Solar Monitoring Software

So, after messing with the settings do dad, I was able to set it to 12V system, and 'SLD', that looked like the only close thing to SLA. I think I have this set up for 12V system and SLA battery.
I guess a general note - This is not a plug and play device.

You are correct, I found the 'parameters' in the monitor program. The only changes that I could make were the battery type, and battery capacity. Every thing else is preset and cannot be changed. This seemed easier and more intuitive then the LCD selection process.
Will their be another CC that will have a monitor program, that can be viewed on the computer?

Come on tattoo, give me a break. I think everybody in this universe has gotten your point. I do not think that you have to keep making that point over and over again, it gets to be very annoying and non-productive. Unless, of course, you have some kind of agenda, that has not been revealed yet, for everybody on this forum.

I do not think that you have to keep making that point over and over again, it gets to be very annoying and non-productive. I have given you a huge break.... But when you say things like {I guess a general note - This is not a plug and play device.} I'm going to address what you say as I'm not convinced you understand solar yet......... It's not the CC fault you can't follow directions......
So I guess it's up to you what I say...............

So be it, have your fun, tattoo.
I was just looking at the solar monitor program and it was showing this: Battery voltage - 12.8V Battery current - 0.46A Load voltage - 10.5V Load current - 0.38A Not sure what the 10.5V Load voltage is telling me. Now, for the current I can 0.46 - 0.38 = 0.08 -> what the Rover CC is using. For the Load voltage I was expecting that to be 12.8V, the same as the battery.
When I switch my configuration from using the Load to using the battery, I was trying to figure out how to get some accurate current usage of the devices that will be attached to the battery. I guess I can use the 0.08A as the Rover usage rate. I am wondering if that is constant current usage for the Rover or does that change at some point.

makes no sense, I would be at the ready with my voltmeter to measure the CC terminals directly as load should equal battery.

tattoo, if would learn how to read and comprehend, maybe you could figure that I was showing what the Rover was showing. But I guess you are a lost cause, come back when you figure out to read and comprehend. Oh wow I just fell for it again, that tattoo is an expert at baiting people. I am starting to wonder if you are a troll here.

raydas I think you need to stop worrying why something is doing something and start reading how things work and what they do.....
That's what I finally did back when I first started in solar....... I would ask a question and I got a run around answer from members and Renogy..... That got old quick...... Back then there wasn't a lot out there about solar...... But I read and watched all I could for about 2 months then I understood much better.....
Now with that said I still don't understand everything about solar or Li batteries..... But I'm a simple kind of guy the simpler the better... I don't give two craps about an app or BT or anything like that.......
The more moving parts you have the more problems your going to have with it......
Where you go from here is up to you.....

tattoo, Oh wow I just fell for it again, that tattoo is an expert at baiting people. I'm just saying what many are thinking........ Man you need to back up a min and rethink what your doing.........
Do you still have the 14 gauge wire in your system? I'd bet you still do.....

This is a question about the latest version of the Rover 20A MPPT CC. The new CC has a port for the BT module, is it an RJ12. Also, if it is an RJ12, if you plugged in the RS232-USB cable, and ran the Solar Station Monitor program, would you be getting any data? In other words would it work.
