Keep it "out of the weather"
M. L. Frydenborg•August 25, 2017
This was a replacement unit. I have a solar powered gate which requires one of these for the battery. Unfortunately there is nowhere to keep it out of the elements. I had a little "hood" over the previous one but after about 5 years it gave out. This time I have decided to use the plastic packaging as protection. I carefully avoided opening it from the top and let the wires run out from the bottom of the plastic and used packing tape to seal it up. Hopefully this will give it a longer life. Still, it is not expensive to replace and works well.
Farm dependable.

Buy these every several years for my front gate solar controller, fence line controllers, etc. Best for value and longevity. More long term reliable than the small white one.
Control the power of the sun...kind of

This Is A very very basic charge controller it has a led that either tells you its charging or one that says its charged. and it goes back and fourth once the battery is full
The wire it comes with is smaller than the wire coming from the back of the solar panel. im sorry I don't know the sizes
Wires are self explanatory red+ black- and are very short
NO DIRECTIONS however it is pretty basic and if you need these directions you should call a electrician maybe even look on the youtube
NO LOAD setup/hook...up power is wasted
made in china, you get what you pay for, I bought this because it was purchased by other customers who also bought the solar panel I bought...
Now I know better than to listen to them guys.
I would Not buy this again, I would try to find something with a digital readout
It Does do the job it is intended to do, its mountable in a lightweight housing and all of its lights work...both of them, helps save power

I recently went camping and use this controller in a self-contained solar battery pack (housed within a .50 cal ammo can). I chose this controller for the low cost, and the small size. It fits perfectly, and worked perfectly to control the incoming solar charge. We had ample power the entire 5 days, even though 5 guys were using the pack to recharge our various electronics. One note: if you're using a battery tender, you'll need to attach it directly to the battery, as the minder doesn't kick in when it can't immediately sense the battery (because of the controller in the way).
I thought that was nice. About an hour or two later

I don't trust this controller at all. I hooked up the battery first per instructions. Then connected the controller. The charging lite came on, I thought that was nice. About an hour or two later, the green light was on that said charged. BUT, so was the yellow charging lite.
3 hours later when I went to power on the yellow led flasher, the battery was so dead it would not even trip the photo cell attached to the lights.
It was working before I connected this because I checked it by covering the photo cell. So this thing definitely drained the battery. I have never had a problem with this when I had 3 small 1.5 w chargers connected to it.I added this and a 7 watt charger to save room.
I ordered 2, another for a 10 watt panel. I am returning both of these and bought 2 of these.

They appear to have better features and 3 leads. One for the panel, one for the batter and one for the device. This might be a better thing. This switches to float charge as well.
