PMW-light 12/24V Charge Controller Victron
The BlueSolar Victron PMW-light charge controllers ensure that the maximum possible efficiency is obtained from sunlight, even in limited sunlight. The charge controller is suitable for all types of batteries, with voltages of 12, 24 or 48 volts. The controllers match the solar energy to the state of charge of the batteries, ensuring an extra-long battery life.
Features of the Victron PMW-light Charge Controller
• Load output with disconnection function at low battery voltage.
• Lighting control function, but only one timer.
• Two-digit seven-segment display for quick and easy setting of the load output functionality, including timer setting.
• Battery charging in three phases (bulk, absorption and trickle charging), not programmable.
• Load output protected against overload and short circuit.
• Protected against overcurrent, short circuit and reverse polarity connection of the solar panels and/or the battery.
• Internal temperature sensor.
A solar panel charge controller stops the energy captured by the solar panel directly into a battery. In addition, the device has a module that ensures the captured energy is converted into a power supply for the battery charger.
This charge controller has a 3-stage charging characteristic. It is also easy to connect.
