SCC2 Specifications and Features
- Charging Current: up to 10 Amps continuous.
- The efficient design is suitable for use with low power solar panels.
- Nominal Battery Voltage: 12V, can be used at 6V by replacing one zener diode.
- Common Negative Ground for Solar Panel and Battery.
- Will work with all rechargeable battery types: wet or gell lead acid, NiCd, and NiMH.
- Suggested Battery Rating: 6V or 12V, 0.5 to 150 Amp Hours.
- Battery Full Voltage Adjustment: 12V model: 12V-15V in 12V mode or 5.5V-7.5V in 6V mode.
- Suggested 12V Nominal (36 cell) Solar Panel Rating: 4W to 120W.
- Voltage Drop During Charging: 0.2V @ 1A, 1V @ 10A on a 12V system.
- Night Time Current Drain: 1 ma.
- Single adjustment for float voltage, field adjustable.
- Red/Green LED for Charge/Float indication.
- Equalize switch for periodic maintenance overcharging.
- Simple 4 screw connector will accept spade lugs or wires for attaching
a battery and PV panel.
- Uses pulsed float voltage maintenance mode when battery is full.
- Temperature compensated for maximum charging at different temperatures.
- RFI supression, designed to work with radio systems.
- High voltage transient protection on solar panel input for limited lightning protection.
- Built in fuse for short circuit protection, the load requires its own fused disconnect.
- Reliable all solid-state circuitry, no power hungry relay to burn out.
- Multiple units can be used to connect several (<10 Amp each) solar arrays to one battery.
- Board Dimensions: 3.95" wide by 3.15" deep by 0.75" tall.
- Mounting Holes: 4X 4-40 screws on a 3.5" X 2.5" rectangle.
- Weight: approximately 60 grams (2oz).
