Interesting. Not heard of that feature in any Solar Controllers.Interesting.
Reading the splurge they suggest that the controller will increase sub 12v panel voltage to be able to charge batteries.
Do all MPPT controllers do this?
It's my understanding that if we had 25v 3A input that output would be 12v 6.25A or more likely 14v 5.4A with MPPT.
Something to bear in mind with the Schaudt controllers ... they have a fairly low input voltage as MPPT Controllers go. Because of that limitation, you can NEVER connect multiple panels in series and only ever in parallel; plus you cannot use higher wattage single panels (say typically a 200W or larger panel) as they will usually have a voltage greate than the Schaudt can support. (They are also very pricey for what they offer beyond a convenient connection).We have the Schaudt LRM 1218 Mppt and it simply plugs into the Schaudt charge controller
yup. Shows there is not a single right/wrong/bad/good solution. All depends on the users requirements.Yes it is expensive but as you say very convenient to just plug in and in our case it charges both the leisure and engine battery. From memory, I think it also has a little internal fan to keep it cool
We are not power hungry, only have one 100watt panel, but it does the job for us and works well
