 For the price, you can't do better August 26, 2010
J. Preece (Sacramento, CA United States)
For the past few years I used the SunForce 7A charge controller and it worked very well. When I added another panel to my small system I upgraded to this model to handle the extra few amps.
This charger is really a step above the SunForce model in the same price range. It is not simply an "on/off" solid state switch... it controls/limits the current to the batteries to maintain a very precise voltage. When the batteries have been fully charged, it then float-charges at a constant rate. This will keep the batteries much healthier over time than simply cycling between 13.1V and 14.2V. If you are using SLA or Gel-SLA batteries, I think you'll really find this charger is made for these types of batteries.
I like the output load control. A simple push-button on the front of the unit turns the load on/off, and the small "digital LED display" is just a red LED indicating if the load is on. It doesn't give any sort of digital readout like the details above say, however it's not necessary if you have your voltmeter handy.
The LED indicators are sufficient, telling you if the solar system is providing power, the battery condition, and the load state. The wiring terminals seem sturdy and can handle 10-gauge wire which is nice. As others have said, the manual is sort of a joke. It gives you the bare basics but since this is a pretty simple device you don't need a book to figure it out.
Really pretty happy with this unit. I was considering the SunForce 30A charger which is over 2x the price of this unit, but glad I tried this one first.

No complaints at all with the controller but the directions should be MUCH better. Having said that, I will be buying from this company again.

I truly enjoy this purchase.
The feature I like most is the ability to use 6mm2(10ga) wire from my solar panels.Where as most controllers only accept 4mm2(12ga) wire.
The item I like the least is the Digital feature. I thought it was a digital read out display,it turns out it is a digital controlled display. This is a minor misunderstanding on my behalf. Still I enjoy the size,price,amp rating,but mostly the wire terminal lugs ability to accept 10ga. wire.
I recommend this product.

While this charge controller has performed adequately the docs are non-existent other than a wiring diagram. No detail of features, real specs or even how to read the indicators on the display.
Just what I needed April 21, 2010

I have put together a solar power system to operate my inner-net and to be used when the power goes off. So far this unit is doing what was designed for at a very good price.
