Intelligently managing your power needs is the included 10A Dual Battery Solar Charge Controller. This sophisticated device ensures that both of your batteries are charged both safely and entirely independently, actively preventing overcharging and significantly prolonging their operational lifespan. It is an indispensable component for any mobile system requiring efficient management of two separate batteries or battery banks, making it perfect for caravans, camper vans, or marine vessels.

Key Advantages of the Charge Controller:

• Offers fully automated operation with smart automatic 12V/24V system voltage selection.
• Utilizes advanced Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology, which enhances charge acceptance and effectively extends battery longevity.
• Provides comprehensive protection functions, guarding against critical issues such as reverse current at night, overcharge, short circuit, and reverse polarity.
• Features clear LED indicators to quickly display the current state of charge.
• A built-in temperature sensor intelligently optimizes the charging process by adapting to ambient temperature variations.
• Designed for expandability: this controller can comfortably work with solar panels up to 160W, offering ample reserve capacity should you decide to add another 80W solar panel to your system at a later date.

Detailed Charge Controller Specifications:

• Fully automated operation with auto 12/24V selection.
• Three pairs of terminals for input, battery 1, and battery 2.
• LEDs to indicate the state of charge.
• Temperature sensor for temperature compensation of charging (-30mV/C/12V).
• Self-consumption: a minimal 4mA at night, 10mA when charging.
• Wide working temperature range: -35°C to +55°C.
• Terminals designed for wire up to 4.0mm².
• Compact size: 15.5 x 7.6 x 4.0 cm.
• Lightweight: 185 g.
• Features multiple mounting holes for straightforward installation.

Important Considerations for Your Installation:

This offering is conceived as an essentials kit. Therefore, please be aware that mounting accessories for the solar panel and any necessary battery cables are not included and must be procured separately. A comprehensive selection of suitable mounting options, including durable metal or plastic brackets, is readily available within the mounting accessories category of our online shop.

Guidance on Installation & Ongoing Support:

The solar charge controller is specifically designed for indoor use only; it is not waterproof and requires mounting within a dry, protected environment. Every kit includes a detailed user manual for the controller, providing clear wiring diagrams and comprehensive installation and operation instructions. It is paramount that you read this full user manual thoroughly before commencing any installation work.

Should you require any assistance with the installation process or have technical inquiries, free, expert support is always at your disposal. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly via email or phone.

A Brief Note Regarding Delivery: Due to our strategic warehouse arrangements, it is occasionally necessary for the solar charge controller to be shipped from a different location than the solar panel. Consequently, these components may arrive in separate packages.

Assurance Through Our Warranty & Exceptional Longevity:

Your investment is protected by a solid 1-year warranty provided by Photonic Universe, covering the solar charge controller and ensuring the workmanship of the solar panel. Furthermore, the inherent quality of the solar cells is backed by an impressive long-term guarantee: they are assured to produce at least 90% of their nominal power 10 years after purchase, and still deliver at least 80% of nominal power 25 years from your original acquisition. This extensive commitment to performance ensures your system will reliably provide free, clean power for decades to come, securing your peace of mind.

Opt for the 80W Dual Battery Solar Kit to unlock a truly reliable, highly efficient, and enduring power solution for all your recreational and operational needs. Experience the unparalleled freedom of off-grid living, significantly extend your battery life, and gain absolute peace of mind with a robust, long-lasting energy system. The moment has arrived to power your journeys and projects with sustainable, free energy!
