Did not realize there was such a size/weight difference between the MPPT and the 30A PWM that would be preinstalled inside the case. MPPT 6.39lbs, PWM .6lbs.

The MPPT will fit inside the suitcase and it will close, but my plan to use Velcro to mount it inside may not work because of the weight.

Has anybody Velcro mounted an MPPT???
Unless you ordered the remote temperature sensor, the CC needs to be mounted as close to the batteries as possible or you lose any benefit gained from the mppt.
