I have a balmar regulator and just switched my batteries over to flooded from AGM. I never knew what that balmar screwdriver was for until after I lost it. Will any magnetic screwdriver work for programming or do I need the magical balmar screwdriver. If so where do I buy it?

Don' t fret, any small magnet will work. I could not find my "magic" Balmar screwdriver so I used a magnetic tool to pick up lost metal parts.

Many magnetic screw drivers will work but not all. The magnet needs to be pretty powerful.

Don't forget to use the advanced programming menu. This will allow you to get the performance you've paid for out of it....

Thank you all for the replies and the link. That's where I discovered that that thing was my regulator and it needs to be programmed.
