30W Solar Panel 12V Battery Chager + 10A PWM Charge Controller + Extension Cables…

Excellent panel and control unit, great value for money and worked brilliantly on my small boat.

I have a 12v electric fence which I run from a lead-acid battery. Historically I have had to remember to recharge the battery and, if I forget, it gets run right down which shortens its life. (A lot!) And it's a pain lugging a heavy battery across fields.So I got this panel + charge controller and I am really pleased. After a week of use the battery has crept up from its at rest voltage of about 12.3v to around 13v today, so the input charge is keeping ahead of the load and it is doing its job. This is a 110Ah "leisure" battery and the fencer probably draws around 50mA, so it requires around 1.2 Amp-hours a day and the setup is keeping well ahead of that.It was easy to install and in my case I connected the load, ie the fencer, directly to the battery rather than to the "load" output of the charge controller. I sealed this in a water-tight sandwich box from a supermarket, using grommets where the cables penetrated.One thing to watch: my charge controller came with the float voltage set to 14.4v which, if reached, would cook the battery. It should be set to 13.5 to 13.7v for a 12v lead-acid one. The instructions explain how to change this.

Works as should, only caveat is the lack of mounting brackets. I had to make mine.

The media could not be loaded. Kit came with a 20w solar panel, charge controller and cables. I put it on my shed roof using some z mounts I bought elsewhere and fed the wire from the solar panel into the shed and wired it to the charge controller. I then fitted the cable supplied with the crocodile clips and connected those to my battery. This over a day or 2 fully charged my 12v 10amp batteries. I have 3 of those and also a 12v 80amp battery. I rotate them every week so that when the kids ride on car battery drains I can simply swap it over and they are good to go again within minutes. It also has 2 USB sockets which I use to keep my hand held light charged and a portable power bank so those are at the ready when I need them, just have a 12v battery attached to the controller for the usb chargers to work. You can also run 12v lights off the controller but I don't have any to test.

Looks and feels good quality but the only downside and reason for 3 stars is that the cable from the solar panel is ridiculously short (about 50cm) would be better been at least 3m. Now I have to buy a waterproof connector and cable to extend it.

Used to keep my van battery topped up when it's not being usedEasy to set up comes with wires, battery clamps, and charge controllerSince I've fitted this I can leave my van unused for weeks and the battery is still full and starts upstraight awayI recommend this product

It seems to do as its supposed to do I haven't used it yet but looks good for the money

The media could not be loaded. Should have indicated that controller not suitable for LifeP04 batteries. No setting for LifeP04 batteries. Now I have to return this item which is very hassle.Almost fried my battery because of the faulty controller.
