4.2 – Charge Controller Settings
Please review Table 2.0 below for Midnite Solar charge controller program settings. To initiate a factory reset,
hold left & right arrow buttons while turning on Battery Breaker. This is normally only done for initial setup, as
doing so will erase all custom settings.

Notes:
•
1.
Per PHI battery – Refer to Section 3.0 herein for charge controller PHI battery bank sizing.
•
2.
Per PHI battery – These settings are calculated by multiplying the nominal value per each PHI battery times the # of
PHI batteries. For other batteries, refer to the Warranty and Specification Sheet for the specific model.
•
3.
End Amps settings only work when the “Midnite Whiz Bang Jr & 500A/50mV shunt” are installed. When the Whiz
Bang Jr is used, Aux 2 is not available for a turn off signal from auxiliary source.
• Levels are typical @ 25°C and may need adjusting at temperature extremes.
• When performing rapid deep charge/discharge cycles, the PHI battery should be allowed to "rest" 15 minutes in
between
• Always refer to the SimpliPhi Power Manual and Warranty for the specific PHI battery model.
CAUTION: When PHI battery quantities change, the capacity & charge/discharge current settings must
to be reassessed. Failure to do so will void the Warranty.
