The first question I have is my solar panel is 30 amp, is this ok for this controller?
We can't get the battery select button to work. Have tried all the hints of holding button down for 3 or 7 or 10 seconds, pushing immediately after. It seems like the button doesn't even push in. Very discouraged was so excited to finally get a solar panel for our VHF radio battery. We are at a remote setnet camp on Kodiak Island. Right now charging my battery the old fashioned way.
Thank-you

Hi Kim, the waterproof nature of the Voyager seems intriguing. I'm suspect it is sealed and you'd need to push exactly where the 'button' on the underlying circuit board is, I can generally feel these types of buttons that have a flexible menbrane covering them.
Give it another try or 2, if it don't send it back!!!
If you meant a 30 volt panel, well it should work but you won't be harvesting all the panels power as the panel will operate at battery voltage at a reduced power.

also kim you should investigate the Voyager's max input voltage, a 30v panel may exceed its ratings.

hey I got the thing to work for awhile, was able to choose my battery and I thought all was well. But now screen is flashing 14.7 volts and it won't go through the sequence when I press the amp volt button. What does this mean and ty Hello, What panel do you have, is it a renogy panel? 14.7V tells me this is a Wet battery undergoing Absorption. Is this correct on the battery type? These are some notes on what you're seeing. Absorption--Constant voltage until current drops to 0.75/1.0 amps and holds for 30s. Minimum 2 hours charging time and maximum 4 hours time out. If charging current < 0.2A, stage will end. -Renogy Team |
