Features
- Optional T.Comp available
- Special order units can charge a lower voltage rechargeable battery
- Real world 15 - 30 % more current than conventional technology into discharged batteries
- Overvoltage Protection
- For example, a 7.2 V li-ion battery from a 48 V nominal solar panel with complete energy transfer
-
Regulates output at float level even without batteries connected (or bad batteries)
Electrical Specifications

** Special units have a suffix of B XX after the part number. The float value of the charge controller is XX. For example PT 36- 5 B8.4 will charge a li-ion battery to 8.4 V from a nominal 48 V solar panel. Note that the charge current increase by the ratio of approx. 60/8.4. Thus a 1 amp 36 V nominal solar panel will charge the li-ion battery at approx. 7 amps.
