20W Solar Panel 12V Battery Chager + 10A PWM Charge Controller + Extension Cables…

I have a 12v electric fence which I run from a lead-acid battery. Historically I have had to remember to recharge the battery and, if I forget, it gets run right down which shortens its life. (A lot!) And it's a pain lugging a heavy battery across fields.So I got this panel + charge controller and I am really pleased. After a week of use the battery has crept up from its at rest voltage of about 12.3v to around 13v today, so the input charge is keeping ahead of the load and it is doing its job. This is a 110Ah "leisure" battery and the fencer probably draws around 50mA, so it requires around 1.2 Amp-hours a day and the setup is keeping well ahead of that.It was easy to install and in my case I connected the load, ie the fencer, directly to the battery rather than to the "load" output of the charge controller. I sealed this in a water-tight sandwich box from a supermarket, using grommets where the cables penetrated.One thing to watch: my charge controller came with the float voltage set to 14.4v which, if reached, would cook the battery. It should be set to 13.5 to 13.7v for a 12v lead-acid one. The instructions explain how to change this.

The media could not be loaded. Kit came with a 20w solar panel, charge controller and cables. I put it on my shed roof using some z mounts I bought elsewhere and fed the wire from the solar panel into the shed and wired it to the charge controller. I then fitted the cable supplied with the crocodile clips and connected those to my battery. This over a day or 2 fully charged my 12v 10amp batteries. I have 3 of those and also a 12v 80amp battery. I rotate them every week so that when the kids ride on car battery drains I can simply swap it over and they are good to go again within minutes. It also has 2 USB sockets which I use to keep my hand held light charged and a portable power bank so those are at the ready when I need them, just have a 12v battery attached to the controller for the usb chargers to work. You can also run 12v lights off the controller but I don't have any to test.

Good charging well worth the price you pay it charges the battery really quickly very happy with this item

Looks and feels good quality but the only downside and reason for 3 stars is that the cable from the solar panel is ridiculously short (about 50cm) would be better been at least 3m. Now I have to buy a waterproof connector and cable to extend it.

easy to install, cable a bit short.

Really pleased, although would like better fixing options as the solar panel has now been stolen!

Just starting out in the world of solar panels and wanted something reasonable price and good quality with instructions and information, this fitted the requirements

I wanted to keep an old car battery topped up and this does the job. Even in low light conditions this can produce some output. I am happy and think good value for the money
