Hardly usable at 24 volts. But it loads.

Charge controller voltage settings are TOO high. 2/10 volts can be critical to expected battery life. But 4/10 volts is ABSURD!. When using this charge controller in 24V Li-Ion mode, the resolution is 4/10 volts. I make it work because I needed a charge controller ASAP when I ordered it. However, I had no idea such ridiculous loading options existed. The only reason this works for me is because I want to undercharge my batteries. Along with the above issues, the charge controller voltage is OFF

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Keep calm

Wrong voltage reading, battery charging

Pros:+Flush mount or surface mount.+Temperature and voltage probes included.+Lithium mode, user adjustable maximum battery charge voltage by 0.2V compared to what is displayed . (I have 5x meters that match but not with this charger) - The display's blue backlight makes it very difficult to read - Too deep for flush mounting in the camper wall. The case needs 0.75 inch depth, but the connectors are 0.9 inch more and the needed temperature sensor is a bit bigger, you need about 1.75 inch spaceโ€ฆ

  • Pleasant

Warranty and Tech Support

Upgrade fm from 1 star to 3 I found I had to go to the Renology website to get support for this item. They sent me a support phone number and are willing to work with buyers to ensure their products work satisfactorily. Buy a remote to have it in another. I wanted everything to be in one place in one place. Hoping my batteries would be charged while the RV was parked. after installation i drove the trailer a week later and the batteries were fully charged. I think I'm all fat and stupid andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • No instructions

DON'T FORGET THE TEMPERATURE PROBE

I bought this to replace the charge controller in my trailer with two 6v batteries connected. Once everything is connected I get a stable error code E06. This code appears because the charge controller is looking for 12.2 volts. The problem is that the display keeps showing E06 and I have to scroll through everything to see the status of the battery. I have contacted the company and have not heard from them. long so ideally you should be on your batteries to use it. Otherwise it's useless. Atโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • No automatic

Trouble installing and iPhone apps not working.

So far I'm giving this unit one star after spending a day installing it. First, the solar panel connectors and battery cables must be routed through a tortuous 90-degree bend in the tight space at the bottom of the unit. Why not rotate the connectors 90 degrees so the wires go straight into the block from the back? The connectors themselves are not suitable for wire grabbing due to the movement required during installation. It may be better to install the device with the wires coming from theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Nothing here

Died a year later - upgraded from 1 to 3 stars - back to 1 star

The front button was broken on the first corner. Revain replaced him (yay). The replacement worked great for a year but now shows E01. He basically thinks there is no battery. I checked all the connections with a voltmeter and the problem seemed to be in the controller. (Panels give voltage. Battery is 12V. I removed all connections, left, then reconnected. It worked. It was evening. Next morning back at E01. Disconnect and left several times. Connect battery, it shows 12V and battery me hookโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some complications
