Price

Shipping

Packaging/appearance
No bubble wrap or event tape to insure package doesn't open and spill content during shipping.

Unlike some other brands, this one you can set to charge lifepo4 batteries without having to buy extra modules.
I bought this 40a mppt controller from renogy to replace a much older renogy unit of he same size.
