Wrenches,
Is anyone setup as a dealer with Exeltech? I need a 22kW MX bi-phase system but
they only offer me retail pricing. Please contact off the list:

Perhaps I should rephrase my question: Has anyone else been selling the PT-100?
If so, how many? Any failures?
Early on a tech told me that I’m the only one experiencing the failures.

Hello Battery Wrenches,
I have installed about 35 of the Magnum PT-100 charge controllers since
November 2015. I have had about 10 fail, another one just today. The problem we
have is the same every time: network communications fail which causes other
problems until you remove the network cable

that works wonders with all kinds of complex loads. Extremely low failures and
their customer service is excellent.
Thank you,

Hi Gary,
DC can not be transformed without converting it to AC first then back to DC
again. Probably not feasible to do while tracking the MMP.

Bill, the typical failure is Voc of about 10 volts. However, the failure can be
intermittent. For this reason, any modules in the date period should be
replaced even though they appear to test OK.

I don’t know of much else in that size and price range.
Thank you,

long term non-use. You can simply discharge the battery to 50% then turn off
the battery and walk away. When you return in 6-7 months, you will find it at
the same SoC as when you left. For long term seasonal storage, that is all I
recommend anymore.
