The BlueSolar PWM-Light 12/24V-10A is a Victron PWM solar charge controller. It detects 12 V or 24 V batteries automatically and has a rated charge current of 10 A. Charging runs in three stages, bulk, absorption and float, and these are not programmable. The load output has manual control plus low voltage disconnect. Protections cover battery reverse polarity, output short circuit and excessive temperature. There is no temperature compensation, and the case is rated IP20.
Our take
With no temperature compensation and charge stages that are not programmable, this 10 A PWM-Light works from fixed settings: the absorption voltage sits at 14.2V / 28.4V whatever the 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.
