This compact charger uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to charge 12V or 24V lead acid (sealed, gel or flooded) and Lithium batteries, and supports 12V solar arrays up to 260W or 24VDC arrays up to 520W. It features three stage charging, including constant current, constant voltage and float charging. Two USB ports are provided to charge your USB gadgets. Safety features include over-voltage, low-voltage protection, reverse connection, short-circuit, over-current, and over-temperature protection.
Includes pre-wired high current connectors for use with our range of Rovin solar panels & accessories. For connecting panels equipped with Solar PV MC4 connectors, you can use the adapter PS5122.

Not quite as stated
Sold as having 5v 2amp usb ports which equates to 10w of power. However true output is roughly 1w and in some cases usb devices discharge instead of charge while connected. I do think this deserves a recall.
OK Kit, value
Good value in kit. Making leads and purchasing controller separately would be more $ plus time to make. PWM are not suitable for lithium, require MPPT for that. I suspect the lithium for this unit are the USB sockets. I have charged phone, tablet and power packs so far with no issues. Charging flooded LA and AGM from panel through unit, appears OK so far.
NOT fit for purpose advertised/recommended
This controller was recommended to me when I bought a lithium battery, upgraded my current system with AGM batteries. Although the box and the staff says it is suitable for lithium batteries I later found PWM controllers are NOT suitable and will probably damage your very expensive batteries over time. You need a MPPT controller. Staff seemed to know what they were talking about but everything online contradicts them and the box. Waste of money. Very annoying.
Excellent value!
This is great value for what’s included. Controller,leads,clamps. About to buy another for a project. *not using on lithium batteries, if I was spending that kind of money on battery I would be looking more up market. But great for all others.
Solar controller
So simple even if can use it. Clip leads in place, Connected to deep cycle and starter batteries, detects voltage and charges battery. 4.5m extension cable a useful added bonus
Poor quality
Leads too short. Wires came out and had to be reattached however limited amount of wire to use. Poorly made.
