I have two MP40W's and I'm thinking of getting the battery backup but have some questions first.
1- Does the battery backup come with the necessary cords to attach both pumps or will I need to buy a second cord? I also didn't find any instructions on the web site for installation of the battery backup.
2- Currently when I do a water change I just turn off the power strip that the pumps are plugged into to shut them down while I lower the water for a change. Will the batteries present a problem that needs to be addressed in order to be able to turn the pumps off?
3- On a side note I've discovered that when I power off the pumps and later turn them back on they remember the mode they were programmed for and go back into the cycle without any adjustments but the night mode is lost and requires me to wait until the particular time of night that I want them to enter night mode and then re-program them again. Is there anything that can be done to overcome this or any firmware changes that will address this?
