Bogart Battery Monitor?
I have a question for someone in Quartzsite that has a Bogart battery monitor tied into their solar system.. I would like to know if there is a benefit in having this monitor since I have a good monitor in the Midnight Classic 150 with the Wizbang Jr. tied to the shunt.. I would like to look at a few installations to see the Bogart working..
Thanks for any input..

I'm Not in Q, but everything I read that mentions battery monitoring suggests the Bogart Monitor with the 150's in a panel.
Jack Mayer? (? on spelling his name) specifically recommends the Bogart with the 150 panel for what that is worth.
I already had the Bogart, but now have the Midnight Classic 150 as well.
As far as spending the money for the Bogart when you have the 150 and the Whizbang Jr.. I don't know if you need it when you consider the cost. It will just give you the same info in a different format, is the way I see it.

Ozz I believe you are correct.. It would be nice to see both systems running side by side.. The Whizbang gives a lot of good info.... By the way Ozzie do you have your system up and running... This is a great week for sun in Q...

Ha, no I have been hard at it still working like a dog. I haven't programmed everything since the install December.
I thought I would be able to have free time, but keep getting service calls. I was just looking at slide topper awnings, going to order them from my parts business, I know a guy Sue said she wants two window awnings also.
I bet you are giving the system a good work-out with all that Q Sun!

Ozz, we have the window awnings on both our slides. We love them, but when I need to replace them, or if I had it to do over, I'd put another full sized awning on the big door side slide. Montana is coming out with that on their high end models and Redwood already does that.

Hey Dick, why do you want the big awning instead of the window awnings?
