Have I been living under a rock all these years? How many SCC's have a bms-wakeup feature?
Ok, so this Expert Power CC is a small pwm type (although they have mppt as well) - with apparently scant specs other than what is reported by an Amazon reviewer as a bizarre pulsing action instead of a true CV. But maybe 14.4v at the top end with some sort of bizarre long pulsing?
I can't wait to find out - should be here in the next week or so to put my Fluke tracker all over it.
This ham radio guy did a video, so here's what it looks like. Seems like a few rebadges out there. Hopefully I can glean more info hands-on.
I don't really need it, but the bms wakeup should come in handy since all I have now are LFP with bms. And I could see in a power outage not looking forward to hooking up to my car battery with an inverter, and using an ac charger with bms reset to wake up the bms one can be in a panic in an emergency and not thinking straight leading to other issues...
I guess it could come in handy for those in the boonies with only one LFP battery that gets totally drained overnight - and have to wait for daylight for a bms reset from this controller.
We'll see when it gets here. I never really looked for a bms reset function in an SCC before.
