Introduction Introduction The REGO series is the culmination of RENOGY's ten years of industry experience by modeling "Lego" energy building blocks for power solutions. The REGO 12V 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller has achieved several firsts as a key member of the entire REGO Collection. Focusing on rapid plug and play and safety, the REGO 60A MPPT reduces installation time and integrates a high BPU (Battery Protect Unit) technology achieving the highest protection against battery cells damage and battery failure, especially Lithium. The compact and robust nature of the controller not only has a sense of technology and fashion, but also saves on installation space relative to the competition. The REGO 12V 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller is easily one of the most reliable controllers on the market yet. Introduction Key Features Rapid Plug & PlayThe quick plug port design reduces installation to a simple "click" when connecting your battery bank and solar panels. Uncomplicate programming issues by simply turning the battery selector knob to your battery type and quickly provide accurate charging services for different battery types Smart Chat, Perfect syncLet software do all the work by using the embedded bluetooth technology or daisy chaining ddevices for software communication.Software will adjust the charging current based on smart chat experience between energy devices. The entire REGO system will actively respond to the needs of the battery, and provide more accurate charging services. MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point TrackingBuilt-in maximum power tracking algorithm with advanced dual-wave or multi-wave tracking technology can significantly improve the utilization efficiency of solar power generation by about 15%-20% higher than the traditional PWM charging efficiency. The ultra fast technology can still accurately trace the maximum power point to obtain the maximum power generation efficiency if panels are shaded with a charge conversion efficiency greater than 95%
Smart Battery ManagerREGO 12V 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller adopts a three-four-stage charging design for Lead Acid Batteries and two-stage charging for Lithium batteries: 1 - high-current boost (bulk) \ 2 -
constant voltage charging (boost) \ 3 - floating stage (float) \ 4 - equalization stage (EQU), corresponding to the different power situations of the battery. When the battery level is very low, the controller will provide high-current charging at this time that allows the battery to recover quickly. The REGO 12V 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controlle offers a range of functions for different battery types, from charging to maintenance, and is a smart battery manager ProtectionFull high-temperature protection at the solar input and battery output terminals. Input terminal protection also includes solar reverse polarity, solar overvoltage, solar short circuit, solar night back-flow protection. Output terminal protection also includes battery overcharge, battery overdischarge, and battery reverse polarity. The REGO 60A 12V MPPT Solar Charge controller BPU protection embedds protection into the controller rather than separate protection component safeguarding your system Quality AssuranceREGO 12V 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller features a 5-year warranty and is multi-icertified to UL1741, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 107.1/CB+IEC 62109/EMC,EN61000-3-1/-3; EN301489-1/17;
