Can this unit be pre-programmed with start and end times for charging?

The unit can't, it just has a few status lights. The Nissan Lead has the ability to do that though. I am not sure about the other EV's out there.

If you have a Nissan Leaf, you can program the car to turn the unit on and off.

No. You must program your car.. All the charging controls are in the Nissan Leaf and available thru Carwings software..

Our car (Nissan Leaf) has the timer. You tell the car when it needs to be ready. For example, my wife just got home and plugged in the car. It is not charging. It will kick on at some point in the middle of the night and the car will be ready when she leaves at 6AM. The charger cannot be programmed. I hope this helps.

The car can be programed to charge and stop charging at specific days and time.I hoped that answered your question.

Missy, Do not see any options for that on the charger. Most of the new cars have that as an option from the car end. Example: Nissan Leaf can be set to start charging at 1 am (or any time) for best power rates and less impact to power grid (green times). For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Leaf

Programming for start and end times is done in vehicle (Nissan Leaf) or from smartphone application.

Yes. The device can not do two functions as the same time. It can either charge or be charged.

Yes you can program the unit to do the schedule that you want. It singers versatile.

Just set the time a half hour ahead and it will come on a half hour before sunset. I can't imagine you will be using it as a clock since it will probably be close to the floor where the plug is.

No of course not. Its off when I'm parked so that wouldn't work at all. Now that you ask the question though, I never set the time even once. It must get it from the gps signal? Great unit, I love mine.

yes, you are able to set the time for start and shutoff. but keep in mind it shuts off automatically when it gets too hot.

No. You can program it to automatically come on at a different specific time for each day of the week or at the same time for all 7 days of he week. Same for shut off time. It also has a "random" feature that will vary the on-off times +/- 0-15 minutes if it is programmed to turn on/off at the same time for all 7 days of the week.

Yes charge it for a full 24 hours before your 1st use. It is in the owners manual or you can go online to the company website. It will work great after that. CheersRandall

No. It is set up to go on and off at pre-programmed times. There is another product that shuts off power after a fixed time.

You can charge and use at the same time you E17, just set in the E17 menu this option.

Not that I know of, this unit needs a trigger then it transfers power at a predetermined time setting. Look for a delay timer.

I think it is only for setting up the time of switch on and the time of switch off during the day or the week. It may not allow to only set up for running 45 mins.

Sure I do it all the time when I super charge/equalize my batteries. I usually run it in starter mode for 30 minutes.

What would work best, and what we do, is turn sensitivity dial to 1 during the day. This enables the solar charging, but the unit isn't likely to spray. At night turn dial to it's operational setting. If the unit is turned off during the day it won't charge. There isn't a timer that would automatically perform this, but we don't find it a problem.

Yes, You can program car to start charging at say 10:05 PM You may also use your smart phone to set up with the Volt.

It does not have a timer, however it stops charging once the vehicle has reached it's charging capacity or the program charge level you have selected on the vehicle itself.

Yes, you can. The problem is if you're asking the question, you shouldn't. I have contacted Shorai technical and they actually recommended to me a programmable Li battery charger the R/C folks use once they knew I knew what I was talking about. I, of course, believe my charger is better and have programmed it. THe hard part is determining the balance connector they use, which is NOT proprietary. I use a Cellpro from Revolectrix. I will look up the connector when I get home. The Shorai connectors change the wire harness from 5 wire to 7 wire for some unknown reason. Other than, perhaps, to force people into using their charger.
