  • Where to find end amps on Midnite Classic 250?

    I have my end amps set on my Midnite Classic 250, but where can I find the history to see if I am ever reaching the end amps? I currently have my absorb time set for 2 hrs but have no way of knowing if that is long enough without seeing the amps. My batteries bank is 48V, 180ah. Thanks
  • Generator has trouble connecting to inverter

    Hi all, My inverter, XW Pro 6848, has trouble connecting to my generator. It will pass all qualifications, but then it is hit or miss if it will connect and start charging my batteries from the generator. Any suggestions? I’ve changed the size of the amp breaker in the settings with limited...
  • Venting shed for AGM batteries?

    Hi all, I have all of my solar equipment in an insulated shed and was wondering if I should have the shed vented for the batteries. I have Kilovault PLC 2100 AGM batteries.
  • BTS not reading for XW Pro 6848

    Hi all, I’ve had my system running few 2 months now and the BTS on my Schneider XW Pro 6848 has never worked. I am not to worried as my Midnite Classic Charge controller has one, but now that I’ve got most of my other questions answered on this forum I figured it was time to tackle this one. Do...
  • Why is battery voltage jumping to 68V?

    Hi all, At around 10am both yesterday and today my Schneider XW Pro 6848 gave an event where my battery voltage went above 68V for my 48V system. However, both times my batteries were only being charged at ~55V by my solar panels and hadn’t even reached their 56.4V absorb voltage point yet. I...
  • Why does my CC show that I produce more electricity than I am using?

    I have a Midnite Classic 250 and from my understanding the kWh reading on the homepage is how many kWh it is producing. However, its readings are more than what I am using. For example if I only use 1kWh the next day my CC may produce 2kWh of electricity. But my batteries can’t even take that...
  • When to know you have to equalize AGM batteries?

    Hi all, I have 4 x 12V Kilovault PLC 2100 AGM batteries that might need to be equalized. I bought them new, but they were stored for ~9 months due to building my house and a 3 month warranty replacement part for my solar setup. The installation manual says that they can be stored for 6 months...
  • What voltage should I be seeing?

    Hi all. I have 4x12V Kilovault PLC 2100 AGM batteries for a 48V system. I was wondering what the voltage of the batteries should be at rest with nothing pulling on them? Currently they drop to 51.5V at night when my charge controller goes into resting. Under the load of just a fridge it drops to...
  • How to program generator to charge batteries

    Hi all. I have a Westinghouse 5300DFc generator that I could wire up to my Schneider Conext XW Pro 6848 inverter/charger ( in came prewired for generator hookup) to charge my 48V battery bank (4x12V Kilovault PLC 2100). Is this possible and does anyone know the type of settings to adjust on my...
