Compact 8A PWM Solar Charge Controller

Overview

This compact PWM solar charge controller efficiently manages the charging of various lead-acid and LiFePO4 batteries. Featuring advanced MOSFET switching, multi-stage charging, and multiple safety protections, it comes in an IP65 enclosure for dependable outdoor use.

Benefits

  • Promote longer battery life with smart multi-stage charging and temperature compensation that mitigate overcharging.
  • Reduce troubleshooting time thanks to LED indicators that provide clear information on battery status and charging progress.
  • Experience safer installation and operation with built-in protections against overvoltage, short circuits, reverse polarity, and thermal issues.
  • Confidently install in various locations, as the waterproof IP65 design and corrosion-resistant terminals make it suitable for outdoor or damp settings.
  • Quickly adapt to different battery types using the DIP switch for customized charging settings.

Features

  • PWM charging control utilizing efficient MOSFET switching technology
  • Common positive grounding design
  • High efficiency with minimal standby current of 2 mA during nighttime
  • DIP switch allows for battery type selection (Flooded/WET, AGM, GEL, LiFePO4)
  • Smart multi-stage charging with management of charging time
  • Soft-start capability to minimize inrush current at the beginning of the charging process
  • LED indicators display battery condition and charging status
  • Thermal protection and automatic shutdown if temperature exceeds set limits
  • Comprehensive safeguards against overvoltage, short-circuits, and reverse polarity
  • Connections are spark-free with corrosion-resistant terminals and connectors
  • Internal PCB features conformal coating for moisture protection
  • Waterproof, outdoor-rated housing with IP65 classification
  • Meets CE, EMC, and FCC standards for safety and reliability
  • Simple mounting process using provided plastic spacers and self-tapping screws for flat surfaces
