The Victron BlueSolar PWM DUO-LCD&USB is a 20 A PWM solar charge controller that detects 12V or 24V batteries automatically. It charges two separate batteries, and it includes a temperature sensor and 2 USB ports at 2 A each. Maximum solar voltage is listed as 28V / 55V. The enclosure is rated IP20, and at 130% load the unit shuts down after 60 seconds.
Our take
The DUO version charges two separate batteries from one 20 A controller, so two banks can share the same panels. Maximum solar voltage is listed as 28V / 55V, and that is the figure to check your panel arrangement against.
From our buying guide
NMMA says charging sources must meet the charging profile the battery maker recommends. A charger's presets are its own maker's, so set it from the battery maker's figures.
Check before you buy:
- It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
- On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
