battery controller died
Recently bought one of those inexpensive (~11) 5 amp battery controllers for my solar powered farm gate.
Bought the 5 A model as the maximum measured current draw from the battery while opening the gate was ~ 2.5 amps. But today the gate stopped in mid opening and now there is no voltage on the pins labeled "load".
The battery is essentially fully charged and the PV panel is pushing out current.
Thinking of rebuying a similar unit with a 30 A capacity.
Thoughts?
