What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Renogy charge controller works like a charm. Built in display shows current charge, battery voltage, and other important data. The manual that came in the box is version 1.
My trailer has 12-volt batteries to run lighting, etc. Hooked it up first to a smaller lithium battery 16ah 12v. This one is for a single 100 ah marine deep cycle battery in my cargo trailer.

Price was good and it worked as advertised.
Packaging/appearance
