Please turn off "Stable Volume" in the video playback setting (the first menu item after clicking the gear icon) as for some reason, this new RUclips playback feature made the video much noisier than usual.
I bought this charge controller for the purpose of installing it in my boat to keep my batteries topped off with the solar panel. As soon as I received that I realized it’s not really an MPPT controller, I could tell by its weight. For it to be a true true MPPT controller it must contain a coil of copper wire that is rather heavy. Without this coil it cannot do the MPPT functions. If it were truly an MPPT controller you would be able to connect to Solar Panels in series bringing up the voltage even though your battery bank is a 12 V system.
I looked over a lot of solar charge controllers and Victron was mentioned quite a few times in reviews. I got a Victron MPPT 75/10, a 10 Amp controller which can charge 12, 24 or 48 Volt batteries of various chemistry from 12 to 48 Volt solar input. I have a small 20 Watt panel I want to use to keep my truck battery full. Victron has a four stage algorithm even on this small controller. The controller weighs 0.5 kg. The board is potted, but it looks like there’s a toroidal coil in there to make true buck/boost operation feasible. As one would expect, Victron has a Bluetooth app. I don’t like to load up my device with apps, especially from heretofore not known companies. I even have some reservations with the app from Victron who is a Netherlands based company, but uses Chinese manufacturing.
@@wtmayhew I have a Victron MPPT for a small 4-500w solar set-up. It works well, was fairly priced and seems like a company that actually is pretty honest about their specs/rating.
@@boots7859 Thanks for the reply. I am impressed by the build quality of the small 10 Amp Victron controller. I feel it was worth the slightly higher cost versus a generic controller. The Victron controller has separate pairs of terminals for solar, battery and load which allows it to closely track energy flow.
@@wtmayhewI haven't yet bought a victron because I too do not like the Bluetooth option. I want to run a rf clean setup because I do RF monitoring and having a huge rf source inside the testing area isn't feasible. Renology is a company that makes one without Bluetooth. Unfortunately they don't make one that supports my use case.
HI, if BMS after destruction of FETs ignite H2, C2H2, CHZ4, C2H6 and other gases from LFP battery, what happens ? Small exúplosion? If battery is in non ventilated compartment ? Big explosion ? How many litres of H2 produces this LFP battery after thermal runaway due to internal short circuit after dendrite growth due to charging at low temps ?
:-) I like my SONY Alpha 6000 camera, it doesn't have a microphone jack unfortunately. I am going to stop using my wireless mic and use the builtin mic instead, maybe I will switch to use my phone to do the recording in the future...

Please test more MPPT controllers. As a ham, I am interested in their RFI characteristics.
Thank you, your experiments are very good. Please continue.

Another YT'er pulled the 100AH one apart here: ruclips.net/video/RZX0Y2ft8Nc/видео.html
Thanks for the link!
maybe get a microphone sponsor finally?
