    MMPT vrs PWM

    I have seen 17 amps on ocassion. Now its been in the garage only powering a phone. Maybe tomorrow Ill back it out and power on the AC for a load to see how each controller does. Howerever 1-2 amps more to change to a MMPT I dont think its worth it. I bought a 20A Sunthsys by mistake then...

    MMPT vrs PWM

    I cant get it now I broke my foot a couple days ago. I watched it. Yes I get it but Im still better off with that odd panel than only 200W. If I can fit a bigger pannel in its place since its bigger than the 100w ones I will upgrade later. thanks

    MMPT vrs PWM

    I bought this controller off Amazon a couple years ago for my RV with 280A of solar and 280A Lifepo4 batteries. Its working fine but recently there is speculation that its a PWM, since there is no inductors in it. So I thought if I went to a real MMPT one I might gain a couple more amps. I...

    Did my BMS go Bad?

    In case anyone is interested, I found the problem. With my BMS you must attach the B- to the battery before you connect the C-. I built up a 81650 pack to play around and I found the solution.

    Did my BMS go Bad?

    I was looking for something like that but could not find anything. Although the day before the lights came on and the charger worked proper, it was only after I tried the Air condition and disembled everything to find the problem, this problem started. Yes I suspected something hooked back wrong...
