Shuts itself down when battery charge is low, and isn't that when you need it most?
Installed this Solar Controller on an Off-the-Grid solar system at my 97 year old fathers house after his 40 year old solar controller failed, Operated well for first three months. A cloudy period caused the 8 batteries to loose some charge, At a set minimum. this controlled shuts itself down rather than charging when the sun returns. The result is a 97 year old man is in the dark because of this technology. I've removed this controller and replaced it for reliability.

None of the battery-type presets are suitable for LiFePO4 batteries.
My 2008 model lasted about 11 years, which exceeded estimated 7-8 year lifespan. Same mounting holes as my 2008 model, but new holes were needed for the solar-panel leads. Requires PC to program for LFP (w/MSView), so Mac users are out of luck - I‘ll set mine to Battery Type 1 when my new batteries go on line, so absorption & float voltages are a bit low but at least won’t default to a 28-day equalization schedule (LFP No No).Decided to go w/LFP starter & house batteries AFTER my emergency purchase. Cannot recommend for Mac + LFP users, but for others it’s worth considering.

Works well
I bought this unit as a back up for my other morningstar charge controller currently in use for a small solar array I use to power my workshop. I have been running this same unit on my array for about four years now and it works well, never gives me any problems. A plus about Morningstar gear is they send an extremely well written and complete manual which explains in detail the functions and capability of the charge controller.
