Disappointing Charge Controller for Automotive Use

Based on my observations, this charge controller failed to meet expectations. The only positive thing is that it's lightweight and compact. However, it doesn't work properly with some types of batteries and there are no clear instructions for troubleshooting. It's frustrating to deal with when trying to jump start a vehicle in a pinch. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product for automotive use.

Pros
  • Efficient energy conversion
Cons
  • Requires basic knowledge of solar system installation

Confusing Readings: Solar Panels

An early generation of these charge controllers worked great. These days they give out confusing readings, the readings say the battery is charged while the gauges show a full and half full charge, it used to be one or the other. Had to use my voltmeter, can no longer rely on controller readings.

Pros
  • Water/Weather Resistant
Cons
  • Defects

Must have!: Solar & Wind Power

This is an amazing charge controller! The 5 speed controller works like you won't believe! I had a 30 amp Harbor Freight Controller on my solar panel in my RV, after 3 days of idling and overcast skies my batteries dropped to 11.9 volts. After installing this Zamp controller with the same panels, batteries and weather, my batteries never went below 12.5 volts and they charged much faster with this controller.

Pros
  • Floating function to keep the batteries as charged as possible. This process reduces water loss and prevents batteries from drying out
Cons
  • Outdoor
