  • Page 7: Overview

    Overview Introduction Key Features Overview Introduction REGO 12V 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller can serve various off-grid solar systems. It monitors the status of the battery in real time and prevents the battery from overcharge and overdischarge. The newly added Battery Protection Unit (BPU) prevents fire accidents caused by system failures, further guaranteeing the security of the whole off-grid system.

  • Page 8: Charging And Activation Logics

    Charging and Activation Logics MPPT Technology Four Charging Stages Lithium Battery Activation Charging and Activation Logics MPPT Technology Based on MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology, the charge controller can extract maximum power from the solar panel. With an automatic tracking algorithm, the MPPT technology can track the voltage of the maximum power point that changes with weather conditions, ensuring the harvest of the maximum power throughout the day.

  • Page 9: Four Charging Stages

    Charging and Activation Logics MPPT Technology Four Charging Stages Lithium Battery Activation Four Charging Stages REGO 12V 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller has a four-stage battery charging algorithm for a rapid, efficient, and safe battery charging. The stages include: Bulk Charge, Boost Charge, Float Charge, and Equalization.
  • Page 10 Charging and Activation Logics MPPT Technology Four Charging Stages Lithium Battery Activation charge current would turn into heat or gas. Because of this, the charge controller will reduce the voltage charge to smaller quantity, while lightly charging the battery. The purpose for this is to offset the power consumption while maintaining a full battery storage capacity.
