Revainrating 2 out of 5

Product manual does not match what is supplied

Benefits - Solar panels are lightweight for a 120w solar panel and 4 panels fold for easy storage. I've briefly tested the panel and controller and they seem to be working fine. The controller features PWM control and settings for charging flooded lead-acid, AGM and LiOn batteries. Eventually I will replace the controller with an MPPT unit to improve charging efficiency and extend battery life. I plan to use the panels on an upcoming hike to charge my spare battery and the battery in my RV. I will update my review later. Cons - The cables shown in the manual and intended to be bundled with the product do not match what they offer. In particular, the manual shows a cable adapter with an 8mm jack on one end and MC4 connectors on the other end. They supply a long set of unmated cables on one end (loose wires) and MC4 cables on the other end. To connect this long set of cables to the panels you will need the adapter mentioned above which their manual lists as included. I contacted the seller and was told they had changed their delivery and the manual is no longer correct. After several emails with the seller trying to explain that the long cable kit is useless without an adapter I gave up as he either couldn't or didn't understand why an adapter was needed. Also, the manual for the controller is in such ridiculously small print that I have to use a magnifying glass app to read it. The main reason for the 3-star rating is outdated manual, incorrect cable set and poor seller support. I decided to save myself further frustration and time by trying to explain to the seller and purchased the required adapter from another seller.
