The BlueSolar PWM-LCD&USB 12/24V-10A is a small PWM solar charge controller from Victron with a liquid crystal display. It detects 12V or 24V batteries automatically and is rated for 10 A of charge current. Charging runs in three programmable stages. Two 5 Volt USB outputs come with it, and the screw terminals take 6 mm² (10 AWG) wire. Maximum solar voltage is listed as 28V / 55V. The unit weighs 0.15 kg. It has no temperature compensation.
Our take
At 0.15 kg and 10 A of rated charge current, this controller is sized for a modest panel setup, and its terminals take 6 mm² (10 AWG) wire. It has no temperature compensation, so charge voltage is not adjusted for battery temperature.
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.
