Jerry,
I've been using Classics for several years now and have never seen
any of them drop programming.
Not even after being removed from the system, stored for a couple
of years, then re-installed.
My guess is that it's a bio interface issue......the customer is
pressing buttons.

Volatile memory was a pet peeve of
mine with the Trace SW inverters. I quit even trying to program
them, because they would always end up getting reset anyway.
However, I've tested this feature on the Midnite Classics and I
could not get them to drop programming. I used the computer
app, set all sorts of stuff like fan relay start parameters and
then powered down after. It worked everytime I powered it back
up. Of course I can't guarantee this, because weird things like
lightning and time have a mind of their own, but I was
encouraged before I sent this out the door for another installer
to take over.

Has anyone had an issue with Midnite solar Charge
controllers loosing programming. I have had Out back FM 80
do this and it was an software issue they fixed it. Now I
have the same thing with midnite either that or the customer
is messing with it and this is also a good possibility but
before I go there I want to confirm with you all out there.
The issue from Outback is if the CC is powered down on both
sides it will loose memory, I cant confirm this as the
customer is away and I cant get on site but we have Nickle
Iron batteries that require high charge voltage to charge at
all and it seams to not maintain the charge voltage setting.
Thanks
Jerry
