Descriptions: 

A charge controller, or charge regulator is basically a voltage and/or current regulator to keep batteries from overcharging. It regulates the voltage and current coming from the solar panels going to the battery. Most "12 volt" panels put out about 16 to 20 volts, so if there is no regulation the batteries will be damaged from overcharging. Most batteries need around 14 to 14.5 volts to get fully charged.

LandStar BPL series solar charge controller combines the solar charge controller and LED constant current driver into one unit which is ideal for solar LED Lighting, especially for the application for LED lamp which requires dimmer function. It can also reduce the system cost and increase the system flexibility.

Features:

·12V/24V automatic identify or user-defined working voltage.
·High efficient Series PWM charging, increase the battery lifetime and improve the solar system performance.
·Use MOSFET as electronic switch, without any mechanical switch.
·Multiple load control modes, increase the flexibility of the load output
·Gel, Sealed, Flooded and user-defined battery type option.
·New SOC method of calculating accurately displays the available battery capacity.
·LandStar BP has no keys , The control function and the switch condition of the load can be modified by communication connection.
·Use of standard Modbus communication protocol for TTL-232 bus connections, communication protocol compatibility much better
·Support firmware upgrade

FAQ

The enclosure of charge controller:

If the controllers are used indoors or outdoors but with box, user can choose IP30 solar controller.  For outdoor application, sometimes steam condenses to water when it touches a cold surface. And the water can come into controllers along with the wire. So it’s better to use high IP rating controller in humid area.

What is an IP rating?

IP (or "Ingress Protection") ratings are used to define levels of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against intrusion from foreign bodies (tools, dirt etc) and moisture. The numbers that follow IP each have a specific meaning. The first indicates the degree of protection (of people) from moving parts, as well as the protection of enclosed equipment from foreign bodies. The second defines the protection level that the enclosure enjoys from various forms of moisture (drips, sprays, submersion etc).
