Pros

Works great. Bought it for reliability and features, the excess capacity is just a bonus.

This controller works very well for a non-mppt unit. For rv applications this is great so that you don't partially drain your house battery before the sun goes down and charging stops.

Quality

I like the quality and consistency of the unit!

Quality appears to be as expected - have yet to install.

I will be moving up on controller quality and get one with manual parameter settings and go exactly with what my battery maker recommends.

Packaging/appearance

I know the reviews of this entry level controller are a mixed bag but i received the renogy wanderer as part of a solar panel kit.

Competitiveness

I hooked this up to a 150w panel and it charges my batteries without any problem.

I use this controller on my whitewater raft to handle the output of a renogy 60w solar panel.

I did not see the point of running a 20ft cable to the inside of the trailer and a 20ft cable back to the battery.

For some odd reason in heavy sunlight with two renogy panels in parallel somehow overvolt this controller at 19.
