Detailed Description
20A 12V/24V/36V/48V MPPT Solar Charge Controllers Feature Overview
Wide Output Voltage Range
The MPPT controller can be used to charge a wide range of voltages, including 12V, 24V, 36V and 48V batteries. Perfect for setups in canopies, campervans or caravans.
Parallel Charge
This feature allows you to charge a single battery pack using two MPPT devices in parallel, so you get faster, more efficient charging.
Built-in Bluetooth Connectivity
Monitor your system’s performance in real time from your smartphone or tablet, without needing physical access to the controller.
Advanced MPPT Technology
The ultra-fast MPPT tracking is so effective that this solar controller has an efficiency rating of above 99%! Whether you’re operating in cloudy conditions or the hot outback sun, the MPPT technology will track the maximum power point available to ensure your system is operating as efficiently as possible and generating the maximum amount of power.
Wide Input Voltage Range
The MPPT controller is compatible with solar arrays with a Voc of up to 150V. This allows a variety of solar panels with different voltage outputs to be connected, so your system will be highly versatile and adaptable.
Temperature compensation
Other MPPT controllers on the market will fail in hot temperatures – the KickAss MPPT Controller will continue to function. The controller will adjust its charging parameters based on the ambient temperature, ensuring that your batteries are always charged efficiently even in hot conditions.
Lithium Recovery Mode
Safely reawaken lithium batteries that have been deeply discharged, preventing damage and maintaining their health.
Adjustable Parameters via App
The charging settings can be customised within the user-friendly app. Choose between battery types, and adjust parameters such as boost charge voltage, float voltage, boost charge recovery voltage, and auto temperature compensation.
High thermal performance
The integrated aluminium housing helps the unit keep cool so that it can continue to function and perform efficiently even in the hottest conditions, reducing the risk of overheating or system failure.
Multiple protective features
The controller has built-in protective features to protect your setup from damage caused by overload, overvoltage, overheating, reverse polarity, short circuiting and more. Your system will always operate safely.
Data logging and analysis
Your controller will track the performance of your system, and provide an analysis for optimisation. It will store historical data on a dedicated page, so you can monitor your solar consumption and performance on an ongoing basis. Keep track of features like maximum charge power, total running days, etc.
Low power consumption
The standby power used by the controller is very low, so it will maximise your overall system efficiency while using minimal power.
User-friendly interface
The controller is highly intuitive, and you’ll find it easy to setup, configure, and mange.
Battery temperature sensor
This sensor monitors the battery temperature for efficient charging, ensuring your system won’t overheat.
LCD Display/LED Indicators
The LCD display with LED indicators lets you see the exact status of your system at a glance. It’s the perfect way to monitor and manage your system in real time.
x2 Anderson to Bootlace Ferrule Connectors Included
The unit comes with x2 Anderson to Bootlace Ferrule Connectors – the Anderson plug makes setup simple, while the bootlace ferrule ensures a clean, secure fit into the controller’s terminals.
Optional Remote Display
As an alternative to Bluetooth monitoring, you can keep an eye on your system via the KickAss Remote Display Unit. Monitor and manage your power remotely.
