Designed with pulse width modulation (PWM) technology, it ensures optimal battery charging through multi-stage, temperature-compensated charging processes that extend battery life and improve overall system performance. This controller is suitable for PV charge and load management, making it ideal for remote installations, outdoor lighting, and off-grid applications. Its electronic detection system safeguards against short-circuits, overloads, over-temperature conditions, and reverse polarity, providing reliable protection in challenging environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed with durability in mind, the C12 features conformal-coated printed circuit boards and a powder-coated enclosure, allowing it to withstand harsh conditions. The controller offers field-adjustable voltage and battery set points, giving users flexibility to tailor charging parameters to specific battery types and system requirements. It also automatically disconnects from the battery at night, preventing unnecessary power drain. The integrated lighting controller can be set for dusk-to-dawn operation or a customized run time between two and eight hours, making it suitable for outdoor lighting projects or security systems. An optional battery temperature sensor can be added to optimize charging based on ambient temperature, further extending battery lifespan and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C12's load control circuitry includes a five-minute low battery disconnect signal, ensuring reliable operation and preventing deep discharges that can damage batteries. Compatible with negative ground and ungrounded systems, this controller provides versatile integration options for various solar power setups. Backed by a two-year warranty, the Xantrex C12 PWM Solar Charge Controller offers a dependable solution for managing solar energy efficiently and safely, making it an excellent choice for both residential and commercial applications requiring reliable battery maintenance and lighting control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePulse width modulation (PWM) multi-stage, temperature-compensated charging for extended battery life\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eElectronic detection of short-circuit, overload, over-temperature, and reverse polarity conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eConformal-coated boards and powder-coated enclosure for durability in harsh environments\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eField adjustable voltage and battery set points for system customization\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAutomatic night disconnect to prevent power drain\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntegrated lighting controller with adjustable run time from two to eight hours or dusk to dawn\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOptional battery temperature sensor for optimized charging based on ambient temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFive-minute low battery disconnect signal for system reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatible with negative ground and ungrounded systems\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Xantrex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44404107116586,"sku":"XANC12","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/4209479.jpg?v=1780424204","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/xantrex-c12-pwm-solar-charge-controller-multi-stage-battery-management-with-lighting-control","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
