Default Spal PWM contoller

Crud, what was I thinking, I just installed my new PWM controller when I thought that after parking it in my shop I allways remove my neg battery post (I have a slow burner), this means I have to re-program it before every start up. I wonder if I could (Bubba) install a small inline battery or something to keep the memory active, What do you do? Thanks.

That was part of next winters project (interior). I think I'll just run a new wire through the interior to the battery to keep the memory active.

That is strange... I have the same unit and will have the battery disconnect (on positive) disconnected for weeks at a time... haven't lost the memory yet.

I don't think so, this is why there are so many bubba cars out there. Someone is crying on this forum every day about some bubba job. Just do it right the first time.

I will in time. I pulled the center console off to fix something and found Bubba everywhere, a real mess, that is why I'm dedicating a winter to figure it out. Look out for alot of questions about electrical from me
