The controller uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology which increases charge acceptance and prolongs the life of your battery. Often PWM technology can recover some lost battery capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis controller stops reverse current at night (from the battery back to the solar panel) so your battery won't lose any charge.\u003c\/strong\u003e It has many other protection functions such as \u003cstrong\u003eover charge \/ discharge, over load, short circuit, overheating\u003c\/strong\u003e etc. Other features of this controller include LED indicators, temperature sensor, battery type selection, dual timer function and several load work modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis controller can work with sealed, gel and flooded batteries (simpler controllers can only work with one battery type). In addition, it can accept a wide range of solar input voltage up to 50V, so this controller can work not only with standard off-grid solar modules, but also with on-grid panels which have higher voltage. The controller can handle up to 160W (with 12V batteries) \/ 320W (with 24V batteries) of solar panels, which makes it a perfect choice for small or medium solar PV systems with a battery and load such as in a camper van or boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the solar charge controller has a very high degree of water protection - IP67 (which means it's completely sealed), so it is absolutely safe to use this solar kit in all weather conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFurther to the built-in temperature sensor there is an external temperature sensor located on the controller to measure the ambient temperature more precisely and optimise the charging process.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis model also features \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced communication technology\u003c\/strong\u003e, which offers the user the opportunity to monitor and program parameters for the solar charge controller through various methods:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e1) The controller can be connected to a \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.photonicuniverse.com\/en\/catalog\/full\/26-Remote-meter--display-for-10A-60A-MPPT-and-PWM-solar-charge-controllers-TRPTRVSPULS-Series.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"blue\"\u003eremote meter MT50 with an LCD screen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, which displays system performance information and allows the user to manually adjust parameters and load settings.
