Thank you. What I would like has changed from my initial post thanks to the responses helping me undersand more. The battery is for power if there is an outage, so having it get down to half or below before it charges back up isn't what I need. The timer solution puts me in the same position...

Thanks. Is there an MPP or other company's device that you all can suggest that will do what I want? I am not against selling the current mpp for something more newer that will do what I want and will allow me web access. Thanks!

This is what I got back from Ian " What I would.do.in your case is set 01 to UTL and use a Christmas tree timer to send AC power to the unit say from midnight to 6am. Setting 13 will be the max utility charging voltage. 12 is used in SBU mode, when battery voltage gets below 12 then charge...

Thanks so much. Can you suggest an inverter/controller simialr to the MPP unit I have that will do that? Maybe I can just replace it if Ian doesn't have a workaround. Thanks again!

Oh, I can't be the only person to want to do this, is there a different MPP or different box that will do this? Thanks!

Thanks! That is a real interesting idea. I could have the timer turn off utility power for 2 hours, then put it back on for an hour or so to keep the battery topped off, then repeat.

Thanks so much. I'll check with Ian - I wanted to talk with other folks as well so I posted. Thanks!
