I have been running this model of charge controller for over a year and it is working flawlessly. The temp sensor is a nice feature as well as the ability to mount flush or surface. The readout display is convenient.

I am currently using this Renogy PWM solar charge controller with a 12v LFP battery bank. I have it attached to 3 rigid 100 watt solar panels, and use this configuration as a backup power solution. The PWM charge controller was easy to install, and has a removable cover to make installation simpler.This unit has temperature compensation built in to adjust charging in extreme climates. The battery charge revive feature is very handy and will slowly bring back over discharged lithium batteries by pulse charging over time. Bluetooth connectivity can be configured with the optional dongle. This controller will auto configure which type of battery you have connected.So far this charge controller has performed flawlessly, and I feel it is a good value. I highly recommend it due to its increased handling of amps over smaller controllers.

I’ve been using the Renogy Adventurer 30A PWM charge controller with a 100Ah battery bank made up of five 20Ah DataSafe SLD AGM batteries in parallel. It’s paired with a single 540W panel (which is technically oversized for PWM on a 12V system, but common and acceptable), and the controller handles it flawlessly. This panel consistently puts out 45VDC, which is quite close to the 50V max (that's a hard and fast rule to not exceed!), so this isn't a charge controller I'd use with this panel on cooler days (temp. coefficient).The different charging stages — bulk, absorption, and float — work exactly as they should. I’ve monitored the voltage and current closely, and it consistently transitions through the stages properly, bringing the bank up to full charge and holding float at the right level without overcharging. It even behaves well with the quirks of AGM chemistry and the smaller individual battery size.The unit is well-built, and the flush-mount design looks clean in my system. The screen is easy to read, and even though it’s a PWM controller, it’s been rock solid for daily solar use. Voltage readings match my multimeter, and the system stays stable even with fluctuations in solar input or battery state of charge. I REALLY appreciate the larger wire terminals! I'm using 10 AWG (I use ferrules on all of my controller wires), but I doubt I'd have any issue getting as large as 6 AWG to fit.Overall, I’m really impressed with how consistent and reliable it’s been. Great value if you know what PWM is and set expectations accordingly. Would absolutely use it again for a similar setup. It's a fantastic value anywhere near $50.

This is a great and easy to use, albeit rather basic PWM charge controller. There's nothing particularly groundbreaking about this model - honestly I don't think it justifies its $50 price tag - but it definitely does its job effectively.I do appreciate how easy it is to surface mount the faceplate. That allows for a really clean installation without sacrificing the ability to monitor and make adjustments. Other than that, this controller is very similar to most other inexpensive 12/24V PWM models from brands like EPEVER or ECO-WORTHY, and even appears to share the same software architecture. It is definitely the most responsive of these basic models that I've used, though. And, despite having only two buttons, it's very intuitive to navigate. The "lithium" setting is more akin to a "custom" user-defined charge mode where you can set the charge voltage anywhere between 12-16V in 0.2V increments. Presumably this selection is doubled in 24V mode.I've put it through some basic testing on a 12V LFP battery and it performs exactly as it should, charging up to my setpoint and then backing off the current. Of course, since it only uses basic PWM, you won't get the most out of a standard 20V panel since the controller will pull the PV down to just above the battery voltage (~13V) during bulk charging. But that's how all cheap PWM controllers are.All in all, this is a perfectly adequate charge controller for most 12/24V low power applications. I still can't get over the price, but ai suppose on a really great sale this might be a compelling option.

I had one panel left over from a recent solar project and didn't want to waste it. So I got this Adventurer 30 amp PMW charge controller. Combined a 320 watt panel with a couple of 12 volt deep cycle batteries and I now have power for my tractor shed. I added a simple 1000 watt inverter for basic 110 volts for lights and small power draws. I can even run a trickle charger to keep my tractor battery charged.The unit works well. It's well built and durable. It was easy to install. The wire connections are well marked. I used the included surface mounting box and it dissipates heat well. For $60 I think it aught to include the BT ability but it's still a decent price.Overall this is a good charge controller that handles a fair amount of power for it's size.
