6000x charging/using
This might be a lengthy question so bare with me. First off, I im running my solar/6000x as a standalone system that is integrated into my house, meaning that I don't charge my 6000x from my house but from 4 boulder 100s I have installed on my house. My first question is, is there any long term effects of leaving the 6000x plugged into my solar system at all times, weather it's fully charged or not, to either the system or the panels? Second question, if full and wanting to run certain portions of my house, no more than 200 watts at any given time, does it come directly from the panels or does it take from the batteries then panels charge said batteries? Finally, is there any long term issues to using the 6000x in essence as a charge controller for panels to run certain portions of my house provided I don't start dipping in to battery on a constant basis?
Thank you for any assistance!

@Stonerseanm03,
1. The Yeti protects itself from over charging. You can leave an input connected all the time if you want.2. This one is a little complicated. If the battery is above its RECHARGE point and an input is connected and the charging has stopped, then the output power will draw from the battery. If the battery is actively being charged from solar, any incoming solar power hits the battery and output at the same time so if the output surpasses the input, then the battery will make up the difference, other wise the input power will charge the battery and run the outputs at the same time.
3. if you want to use the 6000X constantly like this with input solar buffering outputs. Read up on the Charge Profiles to better understand options for maximizing cycle life.
