5 out of 5 stars You get more than you pay for with this one!   August 25, 2010
mcdori02
I have no complaints about it's job performance. Charges my UPG UB1280 Sealed Lead Acid Batteries easily from my two HQRP 12W (Size of 10 Watt / 10W) Mono-crystalline Solar Panel 12 Watt 12 Volt in Anodized Aluminum Frame plus HQRP Coaster. When charging, it holds the voltage at a max of 14.4 volts. My only concern is that when it registers the battery as being fully charged, sometimes, but not others, it holds the voltage at 14.2 volts for an additional 10-15 minutes, before dropping down to 13.2-13.5V. I'm sure it knows better than me how to charge a battery though, so 5 stars. I don't think you could get a better controller at this price from anyone else.


5 out of 5 stars Nice for the price   June 30, 2010

Great little controller - like one of the other reviewers, I'm using it for a "larger-than-normal" solar fountain. I used a deep cycle marine battery, 60 watt panel, and a bilge pump that draws about 3 amps as well as a small inverter to drive a UV lamp inside my canister filter (adds about 1/2 amp). Doesn't let the battery run down too deep and comes back on when the battery is charged back up. I was going to fabricate something myself using a comparator and a relay, but for the price of this I figured why bother building it!

A warning to the novices out there that might purchase this unit - there is no wiring/connections included.

Once I got some wiring to hook the panel-charger-battery, the green light went on and all seems to be going well.

I'll update this review once I see what a full day of sunlight does to the system.

The regulator performs as advertised. I use the system on a camper in the woods and leave it along for long periods of time without worring about it. It keeps my batteries charged.


5 out of 5 stars Good PWM charger for the cost   October 23, 2009

I'm satisfied with this PWM PV charge controller. Compared to other charge controllers and even those of PWM or MPPT, this one has the best cost. Only around $30 compared to those that do the same and cost around in the $100's. With PWM techonlogy, the charger is neither on or off like some of the cheaper controllers. Instead it regulates the voltage so it is constantly chargeing and then float chargers when the batteries are full. Also, because the voltage is being regulated closer to the batteries voltage. The batteries do not gas as much. A second thing with PWM controller, the batteries receive pulses of a charge, similar to a battery desulfator. So the batteries plates will not sulfate as much either. I found the charger regualtes the voltage .5V higher than the batteries readings. And float regulate around 13.3V. Controller can handle up to 10Amps (150Watts of PV power) and can control discharge through the controler at 10Amps. Which makes it good for outdoor ligthing or ponds where if the batteries become too low, the controller will automatically shut them down until the batteries are fully recharged.
