Get maximum charge from your solar. Our 30A PWM Solar Controller will efficiently and safely supply the correct charge to your auxiliary batteries. Perfect with our KickAss Electric Blanket. Automatic 5 Stage Smart Charging Compatible With Multiple Battery Chemistries Plug & Play Charging Lightweight LCD Display Description KickAss 12V 30A PWM Solar Controller Feature Overview Automatic 5 Stage Smart Charging Advanced algorithms enhance the overall charging performance of the 12V PWM Solar Controller. The charging cycle includes a float stage that automatically restarts once the battery drops below the required voltage. Anderson Style Connectors for Plug & Play (Optional Extra) Don't let a dodgy connection ruin your weekend away. The Anderson style connectors provide a secure| solid connection that delivers uncompromising charge. Lightweight & Portable Weighing only 40 grams| the KickAss 30A PWM is an ultralight solar controller perfect for pairing with the portable 160W Solar Blanket. Ideal for anyone needing a lightweight| portable solution for their 12V solar setup. LCD Display for Solar Input Monitoring The crystal-clear display allows you to easily view charge status| battery voltage| overall charged capacity| battery type| charge percentage| battery temperature| and fault codes. Lithium Activation Mode If your lithium battery drops below the safety voltage parameters of the BMS| the lithium activation mode will trigger| causing the PWM controller to charge the battery until it reaches the cut-in voltage and resumes normal charging cycles automatically. Multi-Chemistry Battery Compatibility Compatible with AGM| Gel| Sealed Lead Acid| Wet| Lead Crystal| Li-Ion Series| and LiFePO4 batteries. Perfect for charging various battery types including starter| deep cycle| marine| powersports| and more. Battery Temperature Sensor If a fault occurs with your battery| the temperature probe senses overheating and limits the current output to prevent overcharging. IP65 Dust & Water Resistant Protected against dust and water| featuring dust covers for the terminals when not in use. Note: This unit is not waterproof and should not be permanently mounted outdoors.
