Description

Charge controller for photovoltaic systems, microcontroller-driven and able to work automatically at either 12 or 24 V with Lead-acid, GEL and AGM batteries. It has a graphic LCD display, two 5 volt / 2 A USB outputs, control buttons and screw terminals (for battery, load and solar panel). It feeds the right amount of current to the batteries, protecting them from over-discharge and overcharge so as to extend their service life as far as possible.

Please note! use only with 12 and 24 V solar panels.
Technical features
  • Protects the battery against reverse polarity.
  • Goes into protection and shuts down automatically when the load current exceeds the rating of the controller.
  • Goes into protection in the event of a short circuit.
  • Overload protection.
  • To prevent the battery from discharging completely, the controller automatically disconnects the load at a set voltage that cannot be lower than 10.7 V for a 12 V battery and 21.4 V for 24 V batteries.
Technical specifications
  • Battery type: Compatible with Lead-acid batteries (sealed, GEL, AGM)
