This charge controller worked for a couple of days it performed as expected within the parameters I programmed. one day it just decided to allow all 160 volts from my panels into my system, everything died except the charge controller.luckily My inverter was off that day, my batteries were low that saved the appliance I had plugged into it. Reached out to the seller and they trying to tell me I connected the panels before the battery. Tried explaining that the thing was working fine and I no one was home at the time when it happened but they insist on blaming me. Long story short don’t waste your money. This charge controller is not able to limit or stop excessive voltage if your battery BMS hit over voltage cut off. I have a cheap solar charge controller that holds the voltage even when the BMS trips so I know this powmr is not worth the money. Amazon needs to remove this crap.

I also use the PowMr 60A charge controller on a smaller bank. Option to connect 80A units together and bus to 'one' bank of batteries. Simple instructions are diagrammed in literature. Also worthy of mention, MPPT's must be 200 mm abt 8'' apart from each other for heat dissipation. Plug 'jumper' into designated comm port (with the provided terminal ends) located on bottom left of the unit. Controllers must be mounted in horizontal alignment with each other. My scenario: 2 x 4) 200W [800W + 800W = 1600W potential] Panels wired in parallel bus to 8) 200Ah LiFePo batteries.

Nice! I recommend this PowMr. 60-amp Charge Controller. This is my Second unit. I've been using one on a 12volt Battery Bank for the past several Months. At 12volts I can Charge my battery bank at 720 watts (12volts times 60 amps = 720 wattsVA). I plan to go to a 24volt, 36volt, andor 48-volt next. With a 24volt battery bank, this unit can charge at double the 12volt rate, or at 1440 Watts (24Volts x 60Amps =1440watts). If using a 48 Volts Battery Bank, we could charge at 2800 Watts!!! I would note that for a 12volt battery bank, I am limited to 80-volts of solar input, but with a 36 or 48volt Battery bank, this unit can go upto a 160 volt solar array (input). We all know that the higher Voltage is desirable, so we can lower the Amps (and expense in wire size for example) to get all that POWER we all crave. God Bless. I would also note that I was historically using 20 or 30 amp Charge Controllers in the past, and charging my battery bank was much, much slower. However using this 60 Amp charge controller is a large step forward. Get yourself a cheap laser temperature-checking gun (infrared Thermometer), and check the temperature of them there wires, connections, and such when first using, or with any system, to be safe.

So far works as advertised. Easy to use. I do recommend getting the model without cables. Just easier for wire management.

Very easy to use and reliable. I've had it for a year in my van.

Super easy to install, turned on as soon as I connected the batteries to it. I love the large display on it too.

I have used these for several years and except for a cooling fan going out on one, I haven't had any problems with these. I almost like the older version better but overall, they do quite well, and their cost is great.

This charge controller over heated, when under load conditions, amps were at 20 and the motor was 26 volts, I do not know why as all was working ,next day I checked it and the load plugs were melted to the body of the controller.

I'm keeping the controller, but not because it is what I thought I was buying. I was trying to replace a 40 AMP 12 Volt charge controller which could handle 100 V. My array in series was nominally less than 100 volts, but exceeded this slightly at max production. So I shopped for a replacement, I thought this was it, 160 Volts, great, and great price point. But, that was for a battery bank above 12 Volts, this controller in a 12 volt battery setup cannot handle even the 100 volt array my original controller does. So, my work-around is to break my array up and use two controllers. Learning curves, love em, hate em.

Used to 12V panels, the use of a 36 volt high power pane changed everything. Only mystery I found is that when you have more panels for low sun conditions, the controller may trip on overcurrent at full sunlight instead of limiting. Really unexpected, but great for the price.
