 Will keep your battery at the pefect level |

When I hocked this up I instantly started ruining some tests to see exactly how well it works and after some tweaks I can tell you I am very happy and recommend this to any one that wants to keep there battery's healthy.
This thing will automatically throttle up and down the current to any battery to keep the voltage exactly were it belongs. The only had 3 problems with mine.
1. The voltage meter was off by +.2 volts!
2. The amp meter was off by -600ma!
3. This is not a mppt controller and wastes about 1 amp in my set up but for the price that is not bad.
Both points 1 and 2 were easily fixed by tweaking 2 pot's inside that are very easy to get to.

perfect product for my needs. I am using it to control my 500 watt solar
array. Works perfect, easy to install. Will purchase another when I expand
to 2000 watts.follow up: it failed after 8 or 9 days, amazon is replacing it free of charge, but this is something that cannot fail or my lights go out. |

I purchased this along with an 80 watt solar panel. I went with this instead of the 7amp charge controller because I wanted to readout of volts and amps instead of just lights. So far I've been very happy with it. Charges the battery nicely and I don't have to worry about disconnecting it as it adjusts the amps to a minimal when the battery is full.
The only complaint I have with this is it did not come with a outlet socket that it talks about needing. I had to swing by NAPA to purchase one...not a huge deal but it would have been nice were it included.
All in all a nice controller and I'm ready if I step up to a 400 watt panel or add additional 80 watt panels. |

| I purchased one of these about 8 months ago, along with Sunforce 123W solar panel to charge our motorhome batteries when in campgrounds with no hookups or when boondocking. Built a portable mount and used Anderson SB50 connectors on wiring so it can be easily setup/taken down with portable array. Have used it for a 7-day and several 3 to 5-day trips. Works great. (Much nicer than noise and smell of the generator.) Digital readouts are very useful to tracking how things are working. |
