SOLAR CHG CTRL 12/24V 10A W/LED+USB

Product Overview

Intelligent yet lightweight, this solar controller utilizes Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology to efficiently control battery charging. Designed for set-and-forget operation, it ensures maximum charge for your batteries from your solar installation without constant monitoring.

This controller is suitable for solar panels up to 160W and includes essential safety features such as:

• Overload protection
• Short-circuit protection
• Over-discharge protection
• Reverse-polarity protection

A standout feature is the USB port located on the front panel, providing up to 1.2A charging. This is particularly useful during power outages, allowing you to keep your phone charged without additional equipment.

The controller supports sealed lead-acid, Gel, and flooded-type cells, and offers automatic charge mode selection with the following charging modes:

• Bulk charging
• Equalise charging
• Float charging

Note: Solar panel nominal voltage must match battery voltage (e.g., a 12V solar panel should be used with a 12V battery system).
