TheCML seriesis a sophisticated solar charge controller family for low cost applications. The electronic circuit is equipped  with a microcontroller that provides high- efficiency charging technology together with a number of outstanding status display, warning and safety functions. The temperature-compensated three-stage PWM charging method (boost-equalization-float) is now adjustable to sealedand vented lead-acid batteries. The new version also allows an either SOC or voltage controlled low voltage disconnect function. The battery status is clearlyindicatedby three LEDs. As the first controlleron the market in this price range it comes with an acoustic low voltage load disconnect pre- warning feature.
