BougeRV 40 AMP Charge Controller - Cold Temp Protection Testing

[@philc.9280]

I was looking for another MPPT controller and the manufacturer is selling the larger 60 amp version on sale at eBay for only $89 now.

@@philc.9280 Wow that seems like a deal!

Thanks for sharing your review. Very helpful! Did you use 6 or 8 AWG cable from the controller to the battery? Also, did you direct-insert the cable into the controller port or use a fork or ring connector? Finally, how big is each connector port? Would like to order my cables and connectors as I’m waiting on delivery of my 40a MPPT controller. Thanks, again.

Can’t remember off hand which size wire. I just inserted directly from what I remember

[@jamesr2748]

Anybody know what size lugs to use for terminals? I lost the lugs that came with my sunflow 40A and not sure what size will fit between the plastic slots.

Been a while since i looked at this so not sure. 🤔

Can you use this to tie in 24 solar panels into blueitti 200p ?

[@rodneyhunt]

Not sure of the specs on that but most solar generators have built in charge controllers

nice review, bought same controller today, thank you👍

[@rodneyhunt]

Glad I could help. 👍

Adding solar to my mobile office and was going to go with the victron 50, but I see bouge has s 60 amp model. Your video helped me make the decision. Thank you

[@rodneyhunt]

Hey thats great! Glad it helped

[@jamesr2748]

I have not had any issues with mine, and I love it for the price, but was a little put off by the max voltage input compared to the victron. These sunflows are priced great and work effectively for small grids, but if you want more panels in series the victron is the better choice in my opinion, at a substantially higher cost of course.
