Review on PowMr Solar Charge Controller 40A by Mikey Shook

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Manual load on/off control does not work immediately out of the box (40 amps)

I really like the features of this controller for the money (amp-hour tracking, USB, high power, selectable ranges to charge and discharge, etc.); However, on the device I received, manually turning the load on and off does nothing. LOAD IS ALWAYS CONNECTED as long as the voltage threshold is reached. To disconnect the load you must switch the load AFTER the controller. The controller must be able to control the load, so either they are programmed incorrectly from the factory, or just my device is defective. I have not tested my device to ensure that it properly shuts down the load when the battery is low. Maybe yes, maybe no. SELLER DID NOT RESPONSE TO EMAILS THROUGH AMAZON SO DO NOT EXPECT CUSTOMER SUPPORT!

Pros
  • ❸ This solar charge controller is suitable for lead-acid batteries (OPEN, AGM, GEL) with multiple charge timer. The load must be DC. To protect the life of your battery, the solar controller will turn off automatically as soon as the battery voltage falls below 8V.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
