Perfect for my use By Guest

I’m running a Miady 16ah lifepo4 inside a PWRbox along with this controller.  I added another panelpole to the box (for inputs) so that I can charge the battery using my powersupply or solar panel.

I added the low temp probe and had to program a few parameters via usb.  The auto switching works like a champ.  Low temp cutoff works perfectly as well.

This is my primary shack power solution that is also portable.  Good stuff.

A few cons is the solar charge is limited to 30v and the powerpole connections seem to strain against 12g wiring bends when closing my box.  Hopefully the latter is a non-issue.
