Today we program the Midnite Solar Kid 30 amp MPPT charge controller to charge a lithium 12 volt battery in the power shed. The system runs the lights, our Diesel pump and some internet stuff.

    Thank you! just what I needed. Very easy to follow. Midnight Solar instructions a little difficult to follow for an old man like me. Switching my lead acid battery to lithium on my travel trailer.

    I purchased a Kid and an enjoybot 200 ah lithium I have been trying to get the specs you say I need...especially the absorb time. Here is what they told me....The absorption time is actually the charging time, which depends on the charger or charging settings you use. For example, if your battery is 200Ah and your charging current is 40A, then the absorption time is equal to 200Ah divided by 40A, which is 5 hours. The absorption time should be set to the maximum value as much as possible, so it can also be set to 6 hours. If your charging current is 20A, then the absorption time is 200Ah divided by 20A, which is 10 hours. The absorption time should be set to the maximum value as much as possible, so it can also be set to 11 hours. Does that sound right to you? Thanks for your video and help.

    Sounds a little odd but it could be they are using Absorb as a simple voltage to indicate full. I am assuming they are passively balanced this the long Absorb Time.
