The 30A Rover-Li MPPT charge controller is the latest addition to the Renogy Rover series. It's a Negative Grounding controller with LCD display which shows self-diagnosed errors and parameter data. Negative Grounding means any negative terminal on PV panel, battery or load can be safely grounded as needed. Multiple LED indicators give important system status indications. The controller is compatible with various deep-cycle batteries from sealed to lithium and compensates the battery temperature increase by automatically tweaking the charging parameters. 4-stage charging combined with temperature compensation increase the battery's lifespan and improve the performance. RS232 data port paired with optional BT-1 Bluetooth module allows remote access to your solar system data through a computer or mobile app. The controller itself is enclosed within a sturdy case for longevity and features an aluminum heatsink for heat dissipation. The package contains 1 Rover 30 A charge controller, remote temperature sensor with a cable, USB to RS232 converter cable.
