Charging Current 20A, Load Current 20A, with RS485 Communication. It supports such 5 Battery types as Custom, Sealed Lead-Acid (Factory Default), Gel Lead-Acid, Flooded (Open Cell) Lead-Acid, Lithium Battery (Default LIFEPO4) 467.40 ZAR inc for 1 Each 9 in Stock Add Specifications, Prices & Availability may change without notice. Images are for illustration purposes only. E&OE Features Products adopt 32-bit high-speed main control chip and large-screen LCD, with adjustable charging and discharging parameters It supports such five battery types as custom, sealed lead-acid (factory default), gel lead-acid, flooded (open cell) lead-acid, lithium battery (default lithium iron phosphate It supports the RS485 communication interface, and the baud rate is adjustable which can support maximum 115200kps Automatic identification of lead-acid battery system voltage. The complete multi-stage PWM charging management can be set to off-load charging for better support of voltage-sensitive loads. Temperature compensation is adopted to automatically adjust charging parameters Rich load working modes are easy to use in various DC loads. Protective functions including built-in reverse polarity protection, open circuit protection, high temperature protection, and overcurrent/short circuit protection (can be set) are self-recovery type without damage to the controller. Dual MOS anti-backflow circuit is equipped with ultra-low heat generation Lithium battery activation function is provided. The user-friendly browsing design and dynamic interface are convenient and intuitive for operation. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS The first step is to connect the battery: if the connection is correct, the controller screen will light up, otherwise, please check whether the connection is correct. The second step is to connect the solar panel: if there is strong enough sunlight (the voltage of the panel is higher than the voltage of the battery), the sun icon on the LCD screen will light up, otherwise, please check whether the connection is correct. The third step is to connect the load: connect the load cable to the load output terminal of the controller, and the current should not exceed the rated current of the controller. The controller will generate heat during operation, and it is recommended to install it in a ventilated and heat-dissipating environment. Select cables with sufficient capacity to avoid excessive loss on the line and misjudgment by the controller. A common positive electrode design is applied in the controller. If grounding is required, please ground the positive electrode. It is important to fully charge the battery frequently. The interval should be at least once a month, otherwise, it will suffer permanent damage. The battery can only be fully charged when more energy enters the battery than used by the load. Users should keep this in mind when configuring the system Please check whether each wiring terminal of the controller is locked, otherwise, the terminal will be vulnerable when the current is excessive.
