Solar Charge Controller 50 A with USB Outputs

This solar charge controller is the ideal way to get the most from your PV system and protect it, at both 12 V and 24 V.

SKU 8242-PWMSOLAR50EAN 8219671117210Item type: Assembled

Description

Charge controller for photovoltaic applications, microcontroller driven and able to work automatically at both 12V and 24 V with lead-acid, GEL and AGM batteries. It has a graphic LCD display, two 5 volt / 2.5 A USB outputs, control buttons and screw terminals (for battery, load and solar panel). It feeds the batteries the right amount of current and protects them against over-discharge and overcharge, to make their working life as long as possible.

Warning! use only with 12 and 24 V solar panels.

Technical features
  • Protects the battery against reverse polarity.
  • Goes into protection automatically and shuts down when the load current exceeds the controller rating.
  • Goes into protection in the event of a short circuit.
  • Overload protection.
  • To keep the battery from discharging completely, the controller automatically disconnects the load at a set voltage, which cannot be lower than 10.7 V for a 12 V battery and 21.4 V for 24 V batteries.

All the devices marked with an asterisk ( * ) must have the same working voltage.

Technical specifications
  • Battery type: compatible with lead-acid batteries (sealed, GEL, AGM)
