No problem, glad it was helpful. I must admit, I don’t really use most of the options as it tends to just charge a battery for me. Handy for other applications.

@@BoatingwiththeBaileys it’s just hard knowing which options do what. They do a poor job of spelling it out in the manual. I just need to know what my battery is at and how much power my panels are bringing in lol.

It definitely will show that. Just in the main display menu, it shows panel volts, output amps and battery voltage.

Thanks for your comments 👍

Hi, I think it was B1, around 14.4v max is enough for this battery type.

Hi, I’ve been using a 100w panel from them for almost 2yrs now and it’s been great. I think it will work well with a Victron controller as that’s something on my shopping list. If 160w is enough, they are well made for the price.

@@BoatingwiththeBaileys thanks for the info

Hi - Thats not good at all. Are you able to go back to the supplier you purchased them off and get anything that way?

I would keep your motor connected to the battery. That little controller is only really designed to switch on some lights etc, the motor might draw more than it can handle.

Hi Dean, many thanks for your comments. I think this kit would do really well for what you are describing. Thats all you would need to do, i would add a fuse between the battery and the charge conroller if you are using this long term, thats how its setup on the boat and it works well. No real need to change any settings on the controller, out the box its setup for a standard battery and will charge as soon as the panel is connected to it.

@@BoatingwiththeBaileys hi thanks for the reply. Yeah I think we would be using this process in any time we go somewhere on site where we don’t have electric. Would you think I would need to add a fuse if we’re just using it for a week and what do you mean by adding a fuse? Thanks

@@deanhakes5640 I would still add the fuse if you are planning to use it in this way, something like this amzn.eu/d/9nZuedp . I would remove the red crocodile clip from the wire, put this fuse inline and attached the crocodile clip to the end of it. So you have Solar charge controller, fuse, battery. That way, if anything went wrong, the fuse would go and everything would be fine.

@@BoatingwiththeBaileys that makes sense thanks for the info it’s greatly appreciated. What size fuse would you recommend to use? Thanks

The controller is rated at 10amps and I think the panel puts out about 8 in perfect conditions, so 10amp fuse should be fine

Hi, to charge a portable battery? Absolutely, it comes with some of the common connectors/jacks in the kit. Just check the specs on the system for voltage and any maximum input values and it should work fine.

Hi, yeah it does have B3 as an option for changing although I’ve not tested that
