Description

Based on the CN3791 chip and featuring two status LEDs, this compact charger with MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology allows you to recharge a 3.7 V lithium polymer battery via a 6 V solar panel. The maximum output current is 3 A.

N.B. the battery and solar panel are not included (see related products).

MPPT

MPPT is an acronym of English origin standing for Maximum Power Point Tracker. This point varies continuously depending on the level of solar radiation hitting the surface of the cells. This type of charge controller constantly analyzes the power (V*I) generated by the photovoltaic system, always providing the batteries with the maximum available charging current, significantly reducing charging times.
