4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.If you have any of the Goal Zero Solar Panels you will need this controller to charge any 12 Volt batteries that are NOT built by Goal Zero (per the "NONE-Goal Zero Batteries" in the subject title). The 12 Volt Battery list includes: Home/Business Security backup batteries; Basement Watchdog (sump pump) batteries; AGM Batteries; Flooded batteries, etc.Note that the maximum input wattage (from the banked Solar Panels) to this charger is really 90 Watts and not the 150 watts that is misprinted on some Goal Zero brochures. This means that, for example, the controller can handle three (3) Goal Zero 22003 Escape 30M Solar Panel Briefcase at one time. My review on the Panel Briefcase (and other Goal Zero products) is found elsewhere on these Amazon pages. (As a side note, Before knowing about the printing error, I have successfully charged batteries using four Briefcase Solar Panels without any problems, but do not recommend doing so for an extended period of time.)This unit is compact enough and self-contained to include in your Go Bag, too. I recently purchased a second unit. REDUNDANCY is important in critical asset management--except for when it comes to a wife.Blessings,....Chappy
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Charged a 12V 7aH, lead-acid battery in two days of full sun, went from 5.54V to 12.7V on digital multimeter. My 5th product from Goal Zero and all have worked within the parameters published. The trick is to read the specifications and to work within them. Good plug and play products.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.I use this with 2 Boulder 30 panels and a 12V Interstate battery. After a summer of trying to keep this battery topped off for camping I have decided it doesn't work and doesn't do what it says it is supposed to. The more I read the product information from GoalZero and reviews I think the whole produce line seems to be fabricated on specifications that fuzzy to put it nicely. BUYER BEWARE!! I'll be looking for alternatives over the winter.
