Solar to 12v controllers for vehicle use

My solar controller has decided to pack up, well i believe it has.

Indirect sunlight and 2.9v output from a 16.3v input from panels.

Checked it after noticing aux battery was lower after standing for 2 days than expected.

So whats recommended? I need solar in, 12v charge out for 1 aux leisure battery..no other connections needed. 120w solar panel. Cheers

Or you can spend more on higher current models if you’re possibly adding more panels in the future.

Cheers Steve, sorted it. Much more efficient with mppt than previous one. Cheers

Glad you’re back up and running (charging) again 😊
