    Is that solar charge controller for lead-acid batteries or what? You don't say…

    those walkie talkies are so terrible its beyond belief, you could have nearly got a 3rd of a baofeng uv5r for that!!!๐Ÿ˜œ

    Illegal in Europe!

    Should've just bought a Boafeng 2M walkietalkie.

    that solar controller looks very handy. One important note is that they do tell you the "No load loss: 0.05W" which a lot of controllers don't. A bad one will sink 20mA or more just to drive a few LEDs telling you that the battery is charged. I have one $20 controller that hits 50mA (600mW!) loss if you have a load and the battery if fully charged (measured by putting a 20mA load on it…)

    Misprint. They meant "inadequate", not "adequate". It shows a moon (night) when there's inadequate input from the solar panel.

    I still wish it wasn't illegal to power my house with solar and not share it with other homes… so lame.

    Holy crime on and on and on……

    Julian. You are certainly a bigger spender than me on Banggood. Love your videos. Watching them save me spending money on some of these silly things but no less in virtual first hand experience. Keep up the good work.

    Ugh the coil whine!

    The solar charge controler seems to be definetly rubish on the load, the seller (not the same as yours) is arguing that the load limit is 2amps dc as described on the 12Vdc output and NOT 20 amps discharge. Some people would argue that the load could never be 20amps but the instructions have pictures with up to 5.1 amps output (but it cannot handle 4.5amps). As another example i have another controller that handles the 4.5amps on the load output without any issues (but without the displays). I would suggest anyone wanting this for the output display not to buy it.

    @Julian Ilett, i ordered that CMG2410 model you talked about. i have it connected to a powersupply for PV in and its pulling current into the battery all the way to 15v and cutting off, dropping to 14, then pulling current into battery until 15v again, constantly. is this correct. it seems like its pulling the battery pretty high. or is this correct? how does your model work out? thanks

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheBlackadder Edmund says:

    Hello, I got the charge controller for 20 amps but when I add a 4.5 amp load I get the "OC" error. When putting a 0.2a load all is good. When using the same load with another controller all is good).Any chance you could test with a 4.5+ amp load to see if you have the same problem?
