This is for a Brand New 7 amp, 12 volt Solar Charge Regulator.
This reliable solar charge controller has good features and a low cost. Unlike most small controller, this one has leads for direct load connections with the added safety of a low voltage disconnect feature. With this added feature, the controller protects your battery from both overcharging and over discharging. This will prolong the life of your battery. It comes with plugs for easy installation with panels that are equipped with SAE flat body molded connectors. If your panels have bare leads, the connectors can easily be removed to make positive and negative connections to one or more panels with standard wire nuts. A great controller for use with solar panel(s) up to 100watts.
Detailed Description: |
Operation:
Installation:
~A solar panel is basically a battery charger. When exposed to sunlight it produces DC current much like a common battery charger that runs off standard household 110 Volt current. The solar charge controller regulates the amount of energy that the panel puts into the battery. Once the battery is fully charged it opens the circuit to prevent damage caused by overcharging. When you use some of the stored energy, it automatically closes the circuit and starts to recharge the battery during sunlight hours. The amp rating of a controller tell you how much panel current it can safely handle. The voltage rating tells you the panel voltage if can regulate. Controllers with a LVD (low voltage disconnect) also protect your battery from deep discharges. When a load is connected to these leads and the voltage of the battery drops to around 11volts, it will automatically disconnect the load to protect the battery. |
