SOLAR BATTERY CHARGER MPP-12/350
- The following description refers to a former product of ours that is not produced anymore. If you are interested in producing this or a revised product please contact us.
- New: Maximum Power Point (MPP) controlled charging for up to 25% more efficiency.
- New: Real charge balancing, accounting for inflow and outflow of current for optimal battery status control.
- Overdischarge protection with up to 30 amps load current.
- Dot-matrix LCD for detailed status display.
- Highly efficient DC-DC technology.
- Minimum quiescent supply current.
High-tech solar battery charger for solar systems up to 350 W peak solar panel power. The battery charging is temperature controlled, further employing the I/U characteristic. Optimum charge to 100% capacity is accomplished. The MPP-control converts the solar panel impedance to the battery voltage, so that optimum power yield is guarantied The charging current can be up to 25% higher compared to standard chargers.
The controller enhances battery lifetime with overdischarge protection and by forcing an equalizing charge every 7 weeks to fully charge all the battery cells. Charging and discharging current is not only informatively displayed but also integrated to allow a true gauge capacity display. The design features a Microchip PIC 16C56 controller and Burr-Brown high precision operating amplifiers. The manufacturer is TCE, the device is sold by Mükra electronics.
