Common Questions What is MPPT technology? MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology intelligently tracks the maximum power point of your solar panels, allowing the controller to extract up to 30% more power compared to traditional PWM controllers, especially in varying weather conditions. Can I use this controller with a 24V battery system? No, the LUX1012WP-BT is specifically designed for 12V battery banks only. Connecting it to a 24V system may cause permanent damage to the unit and invalidate any warranty. What battery types are supported by this controller? This controller is compatible with Gel, Liquid (Flooded), AGM, and Lithium (LiFePO4) 12V batteries. You can select the appropriate charging profile via the Bluetooth app to match your battery type. Installation Notes Always connect the battery to the controller first. Ensure the battery voltage is within the 10V-15V range for proper system recognition. Connect solar panels to the controller next. Verify that the total open-circuit voltage (VOC) of your solar array does not exceed 45V. Ensure adequate ventilation around the battery, especially for flooded lead-acid types, to prevent gas build-up. For optimal performance, keep the wire length between the battery and the controller as short as possible. Before You Buy Confirm your battery system is 12V. This controller is not compatible with 24V systems. Check your total solar panel power. This 10A controller supports up to 130W of solar input for a 12V battery. Verify the open-circuit voltage (VOC) of your solar panels. It must not exceed 45V. Consider the installation environment; the IP67 rating ensures protection against dust and water immersion. Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements for your specific system before purchase. Product specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer.
