Hi. I have not checked the meter but I think it is fairly accurate. I have installed it all on my boat and it seems to keep a large battery bank charged OK.
hi. i just installed one of these on my trailer ep tracer mttp . the batteries were low at 5.38 volts .so i currently hooked up a charger to them . also finished hooking up solar panel to controller but no display lit up on the controller.?.......even with the low battery should not the solar panel display come on ?.........or is the controller defective ?
I am sure the controller gets it's power from the battery to boot up so it would be my guess that is the problem. Just connect a second good battery in parallel to bring it to life. Very soon it should be generating enough charge to hold the voltage up by itself. Good luck
That's one of the good things about MPPT controllers. This one can go to 150V on the panel side and still safeky charges a 12V battery. For a given power output the higher voltage reduces the current (amps) and losses in the cables.

On E-bay it states it has an equalization mode. Have you tried it yet?

I didn't think you could mix a 24v solar input with a 12v battery system?

hi any one tell me how to turn off the MT5 ?
