Solar Panel Charge Controller – 10 A

Microcontroller-driven charge controller for photovoltaic systems, able to work automatically at either 12 or 24 V

SKU 2846-SOLAREG10EAN 8219671073073Item type: Assembled

Description

Microcontroller-controlled charge regulator for photovoltaic applications, capable of operating automatically at both 12 and 24 V for Lead, GEL, and AGM batteries. It provides the correct charge current to the batteries while protecting them from over-discharge or overcharge, with the aim of extending their service life as much as possible. Warning! Use only with 12 and 24 V solar panels.

Technical Specifications

  • Protects the battery from reverse polarity.
  • Automatically enters protection and shuts down when the load current exceeds the regulator’s rating.
  • Enters protection in case of short circuit.
  • Overload protection.
  • To prevent complete battery discharge, the regulator will automatically disconnect the load at a set voltage, which cannot be less than 11.2 V for 12 V batteries and 22.4 V for 24 V batteries.

Technical Characteristics

  • Battery Type: Compatible with Lead-Acid batteries (sealed, GEL, AGM)
