I just bought one of these charge controllers off of the eBay website. Since it's coming from China, I was worried that the user manual would be even harder t understand than if it were written in English. I have a dyslexia problem that makes it hard for me to understand technical the setup of items like this. I plan to use it to charge a 12 volt lithium-ion battery using a couple of 100-watt solar panels. I also have an older version of this controller that I purchased at a time when I was even more ignorant about solar systems than I am now. I never was able to figure how to correctly use that older model but out of sheer dumb luck I was able to get it to work for me. Now I'm working on a slightly larger solar setup to be used for powering things other than small fans or lights. Do you know the name of this particular charge controller so that I can search for tutorials on how set it up properly?
Most of the chinese PWM controllers are no name. If you follow my video, there is an important step frist connect the battery and after then the solar panel, the control modul will auto adjust the voltages to 12v and additionally you are planning to use litium ion battery most probably it has an BMS (Battery Managment System) on top which will handle the over voltages.
