Fivestar 10A PWM Solar Controller (12V/24V)
Description:
The 10A PWM Solar Charge Controller is intended for use in small off-grid solar systems and provides dependable charge control for 12V or 24V lead-acid batteries. It guarantees effective battery performance and system longevity by using a 4-stage PWM charging method and integrated safety measures.
Key attributes:
- Automatic Voltage Detection: Identifies and adapts between 12V and 24V systems.
- Sophisticated Charge Management: Integrated 4-step PWM charging—Bulk, Boost, Float, and Equalization.
- User-friendly display: Digital screen with a simple one-button configuration and memory function for easy setup.
- Several Protections: Protection against overload, reverse polarity, open circuits, and short circuits.
- Integrated USB connection: 5V/3A USB output for powering mobile devices or low-voltage accessories.
- Timer and light sensor: Allows solar lighting applications to be automatically lighted (off-grid systems only).
