Description
KickAss 40A 12V/24V/36V/48V MPPT Solar Charge Controllers Features Overview
The KickAss 40A 12/24V MPPT Solar Controller uses the latest dual-peak and multi-peak tracking technology available today.
Highly Efficient MPPT
With a tracking efficiency of at least 99.5% and a peak conversion efficiency of 98%, you can be confident that your dual battery system is receiving the optimal charge.
The KickAss 12/24V MPPT Solar Controller series accurately identifies and tracks multiple power points, and includes built-in self-diagnostic technology to help prevent damage from installation and system failures.
Battery Temperature Sensor
Equipped with a temperature sensing probe, the KickAss 12/24V MPPT Solar Controller can limit the current output to your battery, preventing overheating and overcharging if a fault occurs with the connected battery.
LCD Display
The easy-to-read LCD display shows all crucial charging information dynamically (note that the LCD is not backlit).
Pair with
- KickAss Remote Control LCD Display For MPPT Controllers
- KickAss Bluetooth MPPT Module
These devices allow for convenient viewing of your controller in tight spaces and can connect to the KA Solar App on your smartphone for added convenience.
**Please Note: this unit is not a full battery management system, it is simply an MPPT with a load output**

Do not get the controller wet, as it is not waterproof and will be damaged by moisture.
This device is a charge controller, not a complete battery management system. It is designed to power small accessories like LED lights. However, the load output is dependent on the solar input (daylight and darkness) and does not provide a consistent power supply suitable for running appliances like a fridge or freezer. Therefore, we advise against connecting electronics that need stable and reliable power directly to the MPPT Solar Controller. Instead, all accessories should be connected directly to your battery bank using appropriately fused circuits.

- Tyson L.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoFirst impressions 🤩
I recently installed the KickAss 40A MPPT Solar Charger into my camp trailer and tested it over the weekend with my 75L dual-zone fridge/freezer, a 350W solar panel, and 2 x 115Ah AGM batteries in parallel.
The weather was pretty miserable with plenty of cloud cover and only brief sunshine, but the charger still performed really well. It kept the AGMs topped up while running the fridge/freezer nonstop, and as soon as the sun broke through, it pushed in strong charge straight away.
The Bluetooth monitoring app made it simple to keep track of volts, amps, and battery status from my phone, which gave me peace of mind without needing to check the unit directly.
I know it’s only been a weekend of testing, but so far I’m really impressed. I’ll be keeping it running throughout the week to give it a proper long-term test, but at this stage it’s looking like a solid bit of kit for off-grid use.

Very easy setup and so far the performance seems excellent. Using with a 400w renogy folding panel and getting excellent throughput.
