Renogy seems to be among the leaders in our ever-growing world of solar technology. I have two of the cheap (under $10) PWM controllers, and they work okay, but for the price, I happily upgraded to the Renogy controller. Briefly:
Pros:
Economical.
Will connect to a Renogy BT module (sold separately)
Tells me most of what I need to know in its LCD menu.
They do have customer service ( but reviews of this are mixed. )
Cons: Terminals seem to be designed for wire 12 AWG and smaller. I got 10 AWG in there, but I won't trust them to stay.
A reminder, PWM is not the best type of charge controller, but if your needs are modest and you have no shade to interfere with your solar energy collection, it works pretty well. This 10 amp controller is good for your basic needs, handling up to two, 100-watt panels in parallel (series might be right at the limit). It works with all the major battery types, but you need to manually set Lithium types.
If you want or need a more sophisticated solar energy setup for your home or large RV, you will likely want the much more expensive offerings from Renogy, Victron, and others. But for a small camper or backyard project, this is quite adequate. When I'm done playing around with it, I plan to affix it to one of my Renogy 100-watt suitcase solar panels.
Need cheap and simple? Buy it.
Happy solar, all!
But different from other Renogy controller : this one doesn't show daily charge and discharge!
No control over load disconnection, it cut it off at 11 volt .
It continuously flipping through display screens and no way to stop it - really annoying !
But overall good device, useful !
SLD - Sealed Lead Acid Replacement Batteries. Just a regular car acid battery to start the engine.
GEL - Gel batteries are called gel because they use silica. Same as Lead Acid but gel instead of acid.
FLD - Flooded Battery: A flooded deep cycle battery is a battery that has thick plates, large separators, and high-density paste material.
LI - Lithium. Probably means LiFePo4 batteries type. Also called a deep cycle battery. Has almost the same charge cycle as for acid and gel batteries type. The only difference - you can pick the final voltage on the battery which is nice.
I called Renogy and they told me to check the battery voltage and voltage at the controller terminals. I did previously and both were at 12.4 volts, which should be fine. So I guess this controller just does not work for me and I have to purchase another now, and reinstall it to my suitcase. Of course I will use a different model.
I actually again checked the voltage after the Renogy tech person seem to really question the voltage at the controller. I disconnected my Battery Tender, and the battery read 13.03 volts after settling down a few minutes, and it registered 12.94 at the controller terminals. So I am pretty sure my connection and wires are ok. By the way, now I am getting more error codes today, EO and EO2, the controller is going crazy with error codes, then it connects and seems to work after a while. Seems to connect and disconnect at random.
On a side note, the manual is somewhat vague, on page 14 it says to set the ‘charge voltage’ for a lithium battery (LiFepo4), but makes no mention of what voltage to set it at. There are about 21 different choices with no direction on what they mean or what to use. It goes from 12 volts up to 16 volts in .2 amounts of progression. On page 21, it talks about ‘Boost Voltage’, I have never heard of this, I know the 4 stages of charging a lead acid battery, but what is boost voltage? I guess I need to read up on this.
I have had many questions on my reviews for other Renogy products, and I have recently purchased several items; the 100aH LiFePO4 battery, a DC to DC charger (wait till I review the manual on this thing!), several PWM controllers, and several other smaller items. I am also trying to update my current review of the Eclipse suitcase with a major edit concerning the ‘plastic blocks’ that connect the legs to the frame but been have a little technical difficulty with the website.
I decided to install another solar controller due to all the problems with this one. I installed the Renogy Voyager 20A Waterproof Solar Controller, and so far it works perfect, no error codes. It also has a better manual and it at least tell me that the ‘charging voltage’ for lithium batteries is set at a default amount of 14.2 volts.
Bummer, my first negative review of a Renogy product, but it just did not work well.
