Disappointing Buy for Automotive Charging

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, this charger failed to meet my expectations... The Bluetooth feature was difficult to connect and the charge output was weak. The only pro was the compact design, but that wasn't enough to justify the poor performance. i will be looking for a more reliable charger in the future..

Pros
  • Easy monitoring and control of solar panels through Bluetooth connectivity.
Cons
  • Requires access to a mobile device with Bluetooth capabilities in order to utilize the Bluetooth feature.

Reliable gear, not made in China

Well-made gear is often easy to use, and this MPPT is no exception. Fairly well-documented guides (with an editor actually reviewing the material), no frills or much hassle to install. This MPPT charger couldn't be easier to connect. I connected the device to my battery first, which then automatically adjusted to my 48v configuration and then connected to the panel pack. I downloaded the Android app, connected the device and did some tweaking to set the charging current and haven't had to…

Pros
  • Solar and wind power
Cons
  • So-so
