I use this with a Solaris 26 solar panel. Though both products are made by Brunton, their integration is rather lame. Panel to controller hook-up is not plug-&-play easy, & will require you to buy some wire connectors from your local hardware store.
Other than that, does what it’s supposed to do. It does not have a removable cover where you can disconnect the wires from the terminal & attach longer or thicker gauge wires… that would be nice.
Add this to your watch list, I purchased mine about 3 months ago for $18 after watching it fluctuate from $20-$25.

I put this guy between the Northern Tool 15 watt solar panel and a 33ah wheelchair battery. It’s doing a good job, exactly as expected. One thing that confused me at first is before you attach it to the battery both the CHARGING and BATTERY FULL light will be on, but once you hook it up to the battery it works as advertised.

Don’t buy this one. I blew it with just 2 panels and its supposed to handle up to 7 or so. And the company that makes them doesn’t know a darn thing about the unit. Just a marketing company. Buyer beware is my thought on this product.

I use this controller with a 15 watt Brunton Solar Flat panel on a boat hoist that uses a 12V DC motor for the winch. The 12v battery remained charged throughout last summer with no “over charging”. The controller is easy to install and provides an indication of “charging” or “charged”. Amazon has a good price for this item.
