New controller? Looks like it was added today.

"How is that $30 30 amp PWM testing out yet for you? Or is it still too cold, wet and dark tor wire it in and see how she works? Mine arrived, and it's a big 'un to be hanging on the wall with that large display. "

Only tried it a little to see how to work the display buttons etc. Seems all right except the volt reading is reading low by 0.2v, so I have to apply that error when looking at it. No biggie.
Also the adjustment for stop charging or float voltage is wonky but also consistent so just allow for it. On mine, to get it to stop at 14.8 you have to set 14.4.
Once battery voltage reaches your setting of say 14.8 it stays there, which is what I want. If you want it to drop in voltage for Float after doing some time at 14.8, you can just set the voltage to that.
I won't know for a few weeks yet how the ammeter and AH counter check out until we are set up doing actual solar while camping.
Not cold wet and dark here! The yellow Daffs look nice under the mauve Magnolias next to the plum and cherry blossoms.
