5 stars! It does the job for the rock bottom price of $10. Be amazed!Ok, here is reality. I have used this unit for 7 months to experiment with a 100W system.It regulates the charging of my very nice no maintenance lead acid batteries. It knows how to do this and most of the time it also knows that I am setup in 12v mode.1. Do not use the 12v extension or the 5v USB connections. They really are not functional for any reasonable current output. The board will stress, a resistor heats up on the board and the LCD will blink out temporarily.I have not fried the board but I would advise connecting all power draw, USB or otherwise through a fuse block directly from your batteries.Sometimes the controller decides for no good reason that you are in 24 volt mode. This isn't good because it seems to happen when my battery is almost fully charged over 13V. That means it will try to overdrive well over 14V and possibly 6 or more amps into a full battery. This is no good.If you catch this your first easy sign is the battery charge picture will say barely charged... Disconnect the solar, then the battery... Wait 15 seconds then plug the battery back in... Carefully connect your solar panel. Pray it stays in 12V modeAt the moment I unplug the solar panel when the battery is mostly charged and the system decides that it's 24V. I am only using this as a test bed drawing small energy for 5V USB networks at the moment.When I get serious and add more power and a proper converter I will pay good money for a real controller.So, great for the low price of $10 , great learning tool but pay real money if you want a reliable system you can count on.

This worked great to replace my Harbor Freight controller that came with the HFT solar kit. I used this for many months straight, it worked perfect and was reliable. Highly recommended.

These are inexpensive but it does the job, they are not the most efficient type but for what I am using it for on my motorhome it does the job, it trickle the leisure battery when we are not on mains, assuming the sun is out of course, which helps to keep it topped up. It is straightforward to connect and the display lets you see when it is or is not providing a charge.

I am using this device along with a 100 watt Coleman panel I bought from Canadian Tire that came without a charge controller (thanks for nothing Coleman! 🙄). Works exactly as promised/described on Amazon's listing. I like that I can configure the output power level to the battery, the charge level and the cut off (battery full) level myself (for now I've left them on the defaults). Very simple to use & adjust.The accessory 12v power output connector is an interesting idea, but as another reviewer mentioned, it seems to come on and off on a whim. I was under the impression from the instructions that it would turn on when the panel was inactive (at dark), and back off once it was charging again (when sunny) when set to 00. But when I tested this by disconnecting the panel to simulate dark, it came on and stayed on after the panel was reconnected. Weird. There is some kind of timer control to it, I didn't really explore it much more, but you can set it from 00-24. Does it just count time down from the setting once you set it? Who knows, there is very little information about it in the instructions. (As is typical with Chinese products purchased on Amazon).The USB outlets charge at a reasonably fast rate (my Samsung phone was at 39% & claimed it would be fully charged in two hours).The only other concern I have is regarding those very USB outlets. They are active even when the panel is disconnected (ie: when only the battery alone is connected). This tells me they are drawing and converting 12v from the battery to 5v for the USB outlets constantly. I suspect this could lead to a slow vampire draw on the deepcycle battery when/if the system sits idle without any panel connected to it or at night. But if you always have a panel connected, that shouldn't really matter - the daytime solar charging would likely more than make up for it.I was getting 13.1/13.2 volts into my battery under a heavy overcast sky late in the day, my panel was putting out more than 18 volts at the time.I definitely highly recommend this simple little controller, I'm completely satisfied for under $20 (including taxes).

Funciona bien a secas, puntos en contra de calentaba y bajaba la energía que mandaba a la batería, la otra contra es que sus contactos son endebles y los cables que llegan del panel con el movimiento se aflojan y sueltan, soporta el panel de 390w
