Charge controller defective, BATTERY DISCHARGE!

Charge controller never worked properly. They replaced the original but it was the same type as when purchased and it looks like those particular chargers are faulty. Not all of the lights worked on the original, and the new device had flashlights that only worked intermittently. I'm trying to contact TP in hopes of getting support and an opportunity to improve my rating. crossed fingers

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Discontinued model

Garbage. Killed my battery.

The name says it all. Installation was easy. The charge controller says everything is fine, but it was sucking blood from two different 12-volt batteries. Some comments imply that this device should work without the battery connected (charging devices with USB ports, etc.), but this controller doesn't work that way - the load is powered by the battery, including USB ports. My controller also shows the load - both with an LED and voltage, but there is no load. I just wanted to charge the toolโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Safety

I can't wait to try

So far, so good. The delivery time was great, it arrived two days early. The product looks very good and appears to be of excellent quality. I want to build a semi-portable power station and use this product to keep the battery charged. A few lights, a fan, a radio and some cell phone chargers are powered by my inverter and look great in my storage unit. I hope that this product will be together and will work soon. so i can try! Update January 2020. Well it works amazing in a storage container.

Pros
  • . Everything is great!
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

I bought this to charge two Arlo 2 Pro cameras. One USB port works, the other doesn't. I've tried multiple debugging devices and cables to come to this conclusion. This controller would not allow me to charge via USB without a 12V battery connected. The charger has different types of batteries. b1, b2, b3 as choices. Nowhere in the manual does it say what types of batteries they are designed for. Even though I programmed 13.7V for Float, I found that my battery was floating at 14.7V the firstโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Almost never

I wouldn't buy again for anything!

I give my husband permission to write this review. First I got hurt and missed the window to get this back otherwise it would have come back. If you're looking for a ready-to-use solar panel, don't order this one. First, no instructions are included. After a long search, my wife found what she was looking for on the internet. They don't give you a way to connect a voltage regulator. I was planning to use it to charge the trolling motor battery on my boat. No wire nuts or connectors areโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Patio, Lawn & Garden
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Works great on my sailboat!

I installed this panel on the roof of my 15ft West Wight Potter sailboat. Incidentally, it fits perfectly with the fold-out rails and also fits under the extension arm. That works great! Keeps the battery charged while I'm away and recharges it (in sunny weather) after using my electric motor which I use for trolling when the wind is too light. I mounted the controller on a piece of wood that I made to fit the slot my door fits so we can monitor the on board voltage and USB charge our phonesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Generators and Portable Power Supplies
Cons
  • Lightly dented

Looks good though.

Well if you expect a quality product I suggest you look elsewhere. Packaging: To be honest I was surprised it didn't break. It's literally protected by a box and a sheet of foam no thicker than a sheet of paper. I really had to test this thing to make sure it didn't have any cracks. It also had mounting hardware behind the device that could easily scratch or damage the panel on the back. Anyway, mine survived the delivery, I hope yours too. Quality: Looks (and feels) very cheap.

Pros
  • Solar Panels
Cons
  • Long Delivery Time
