Further to earlier discussions on this forum about the +5V wake-up setting of the Victron SmartSolar: does anyone know why this feature has been included in the programming? Is there a good reason why a charger should not switch on with a voltage difference between battery and solar panel of less than 5V?
Asking this because I am inclined to buy Victron, but supplier suggests to buy other charge controller stating this downside of the Victron as the reason. Was wondering if there is a battery life upside to this feature, or that maybe the 5V has been arbitrarily chosen.
