Product Reviews
Poor output, poor warranty, poor product
I have used many charge controllers from different manufacturers, and after one of the more expensive ones failed (after 6 years) I decided to give a cheaper one a try. Cheaper is the word for this. although it ‘worked’ the output from this controller is far less then a decent unit and far less then I expected. I kept it in service on a relatively unimportant system (powering a well pump), and after about 16 months, it failed… period…just stopped working. The warranty is a mere 1 year which is very low for the industry and likely due to the expectation of failure.I recommend that you invest a bit more money and get a better made controller with a stronger warranty. In the end it will save you money. Buying 3 of these in the same period as 1 of the others actually turns out to be more expensive
Does what it should
It works as advertised. I like the fact that I can see when it is actually charging the batteries. It also shows the voltage fromthe solar panels. When the light is low, you can see that it is no longer charging via the animated display. The unit is also programmable. I have not tried any of the user programmable changes since it works fine as is. With four 100 watt panels connected to it, the unit charges my 155 amp hour battery and does not get hot or anything. The connection points are large enough to handle a couple #10 wires and open up such that it is easy to insert properly stripped wires. This is part of my first solar power system and so far so good..
This thing is awesome. Been using it now for 6 months
This thing is awesome. Been using it now for 6 months. I have 4 100 watt solar panels that charge 6 12 volt batteries. Love the display, it tells you everything you need to know at the push of a button. Shows the current coming from your panels in to you batteries, that reading is always in the window so you can walk up to it and immediately see the current going in to your batteries. If you want to see the other functions just push the menu button, but it always returns to the default window that shows the current going from you panels to your batteries.
Good Quality and well made! I would buy again.
Replaced a cheaper version that I bought. The old one seemed to have a mind of its own. Quality is very nice and it does what it is supposed to do. Would be nice if it had a back light on it as I use it indoors and a 30 second back light wouldn’t have killed them to add. Connection points are large and well built. Easy to open port with screwdriver and then close port on end of wire. Very well made. I would buy again.
Easy to use and great digital display
Bought to charge my RV batteries off a 100W panel. Easy to wire up and go. Love the digital display. Very useful to cycle through and see how many amps the PV is generating and the current voltage of the battery bank.

i realy like it gives alot of information and charges great. back again for an update two years i haven’t even paid it much mind it’s still performing great.my system consists of 4 100 watt renogy panels,4 115 amphour batteries,one 3,000 watt bestec inverter.i run a 30 inch flat screen tv,three 25 watt light bulbs.a wii,a dvd player,and charge my cell phones off it at night.never out of power and can power more during the day and still charge my batteries.i look in on the contoller and see the voltage and the smiley face .good to go.
Works well and I would purchase it again
I chose this particular low cost controller unit based on the high number of positive reviews it has received on amazon. I installed it about two weeks ago, and it seems to be functioning well. The manual is clear and well written. I am using one 12 volt 100 watt panel to charge two 6 volt golf cart batteries wired in series, which are hooked up to a larger older 2000 watt Heart Inverter in my remote shop. I have not tried all the functions yet, as I’m satisfied with the factory settings so far. It does seem simple to operate and program. The display is much more informative than just simple lights like some other controllers have. I have not used the 12v load/timer section, but could see where that is a nice option which I may use in the future. The terminal block seems somewhat flimsy for attaching 8 or 10gauge wire to it, and it takes a little care to get the screw terminals tight without breaking the terminal strip. I would also recommend securing all incoming wires to some sort of restraint to keep the tension off the terminal block To be fair, you must expect some weak points in a controller that costs only around 30 dollars I’m very happy with this unit!
Good price, so so charging.
This charge controller uses 2 stage charging. It turns off at max voltage. 3 stage is full charge, taper and hold at max charge and then float charge at liwer voltage after set time. 2 stage charging over time will not keep batteries fully charged. Great price but not a great charging setup for long term battery life.

Works better than others that I tried. So far so good.
Quit within a month
Being returned. Worked well on 2 boon docking trips and quit on the third. I may order again.
Not a 3 stage charger but has good features.
Good news is that unit can accept an 8 gauge wire. And it has no bright LED lights that light up your space at night.
Very good quality
I also love this material It’s work properly, exactly according to the description. Good product. Other places are selling for double the price. Have about five sets now.
