Amazon.com Product Description
Switch to solar power without overcharging your 12-volt batteries with this Brunton Solar Controller. The compact unit--which can handle up to 100 watts of solar power and 7 amps of array input--connects on one end with up to five SolarFlat 15-watt solar panels, five SolarRoll 14-watt panels, or three Solaris 25-watt panels, and a 12-volt battery on the other. Once connected, you can charge your 12-volt battery nonstop for days on end without damaging the battery, as the Solar Controller will continuously monitor the charge and cut it off when charging is complete (as indicated by full battery indicator). In addition, the Solar Controller will maintain the battery in its fully charged state, so when you do finally unplug the monitor, the battery is ready for immediate use. Compatible with 10-watt and larger solar panels, the unit measures 3.8 by 1 by 2.7 inches, weighs 4.2 ounces, and is backed by a one-year warranty.
Customer Reviews
Works as advertised
I use this controller with a 15 watt Brunton Solar Flat panel on a boat hoist that uses a 12V DC motor for the winch. The 12v battery remained charged throughout last summer with no "over charging". The controller is easy to install and provides an indication of "charging" or "charged". Amazon has a good price for this item.
Blew away the controller on first try
Don't buy this one. I blew it with just 2 panels and its supposed to handle up to 7 or so. And the company that makes them doesn't know a darn thing about the unit. Just a marketing company. Buyer beware is my thought on this product.
no complaints about this simple, small charge controller
I put this guy between the Northern Tool 15 watt solar panel and a 33ah wheelchair battery. It's doing a good job, exactly as expected. One thing that confused me at first is before you attach it to the battery both the CHARGING and BATTERY FULL light will be on, but once you hook it up to the battery it works as advertised.
