This is well made, does what it says, but there is one con.That is that it is thirsty, the parasitic draw is 52 milamps. That is idle current that is very high for a device like this. I suspect that it the always ON LEDs. It is drawing 1.3 amp hours in a 24hr day, which is significant.I measured that number with a FLUKE meter, so I am sure it is accurate. They need to re-design and have the LEDs auto off after a few minutes, allowing the user to read settings after pushing the buttons then auto-off them.

I would definitely give it a 5 stars but unfortunately the voltage reading is off by a few. When tested, actual reading is at 12.8v but it displayed 12.5v-12.4v

Does not work if battery will go below 12v. I suspect that since the device uses a relay with a 12v coil, in conditions where this voltage cannot be met (say the battery discharges below 12v), the relay will not activate to switch on the charger input. It is a little misleading since it is possible to set the low voltage threshold (i.e. the voltage at which point the charger should engage) below 12v.Edit: Testing reveals low voltage threshold cannot be set lower than 10.8v in order to have the charger relay effectively energized. Product documentation does indicate operating voltage of between 10 and 60 volts, so it is still unclear why the under voltage threshold can be set lower than 10v.

I converted my kids power wheels to use Milwaukee drill batteries. I used this charge controller for under voltage protection on this project. It worked quite well keeping my kids from just completely draining the batteries and causing an issue. I don't use it for charging as I'm using lithium batteries and don't want them damaged. So I cannot comment on that aspect. Its a little cheap quality but has held up well for the last few months so I am pleasantly surprised. Will probably buy again if they continue to work well.
