Charging & Battery Modes
The included 10A PWM solar charge controller is designed for intelligent battery management, ensuring efficient and safe charging. It automatically detects 12V or 24V battery systems and employs Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology to optimise the charging process, which can improve charge acceptance and potentially recover lost battery capacity.
This controller is compatible with Sealed, Gel, and Flooded lead-acid batteries, with 'Sealed' as the default setting. For specific battery requirements, a user-defined battery type can be configured via optional communication methods. It also features a built-in temperature sensor for automatic charging compensation and terminals for an optional remote temperature sensor for enhanced accuracy.
Advanced communication options allow for comprehensive monitoring and parameter programming. Users can connect a remote meter (MT50), a Wi-Fi module for mobile app access (Solar Station Monitor for Android/iOS), or an RJ45 to USB cable for PC software (Solar Station Monitor for Windows). These interfaces provide access to real-time data such as voltage, current, battery state of charge, and accumulated energy, along with customisation of charging stages and load settings.
Typical Applications
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Camper Vans & Motorhomes | Provides reliable 12V power for leisure batteries, supporting lighting, appliances, and electronic devices on the go. |
| Boats & Marine Systems | Ideal for charging 12V marine batteries, powering navigation, communication, and onboard amenities. |
| Sheds & Outbuildings | Supplies off-grid electricity for lighting, tools, and small electronics in remote or unpowered structures. |
| Remote Monitoring & Telecoms | Powers essential equipment in isolated locations where grid access is unavailable. |
| Direct DC Applications | Can directly power applications not sensitive to voltage/current changes, such as electric motors or pumps. |
