      Will the rover 40 amp mppt controller tell me how much charge is in the battery?
      ByFeb 2, 2024
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Hi melc, It can but this will be based on the voltage it can detect from the battery so it is not very accurate. If you need a more accurate device to tell about how much charge the battery has then it is also good to have a battery monitor. If you have other inquiries you can call us at (909) 287-7100 or visit Renogy.com. We're open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5 pm PST.

        Can this controller work with LiFePO4 lithium battery's

        Answer This Question

        I build off grid electrical systems every day @solavanbuild. Though this device will charge a lithium battery, I have found that there are other brands that are more user friendly and are able to keep a history over the last 30 days in addition to charging lithium batteries.  I owned this charger and a have since replaced it with a Victron Energy Smart Solar Charge controller.

        By|Dec 7, 2022

          Hi Don, Yes, the rover 40 has a lithium option to set as a battery type. Please give us a call at (909) 287-7100. We're open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 3 pm PST for assistance.

            Why can't this charge controller be shipped to California? I need a 40 Amp 12 Volt MPPT charge controller to be used with 6 100 watt solar panels.

                Yes I bought mine a couple of weeks ago. I installed it very quickly less than an hour. Programmed easy. Started working. No problems or issues. Wonderful controller.

                By|May 12, 2022

                  Hi, Yes, you can. The Rover 40a is compatible with AGM, GEL, Flooded, and Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries that are deep cycle.

                      Is this good controller for four 100 watt panels ? Could four more be added later?

                      Answer This Question

                      Hi Hamilton, Yes, it is good for 4x 100W panels. However, if you are looking to add 4x more then you would need to have a 24v battery. Otherwise, we recommend you getting a Rover 60 if you plan to stay at 12v batteries

                        Great introduction to solar power
                        We are just getting into solar as a way to improve our overlanding experience. While not mechanically inclined, the unit was very easy to install, with self explanatory directions. Paired with a 200 watt Renogy MC solar panel, we've been very happy with results so far.

                          Rover 40 AMP is a beast!
                          So easy to use, looks great, the load side works perfectly, and screen has a great amount of info! Alot more power when it's cloudy than my renogy 30 amp pwm controller.

                            40 Amp Exellence
                            I purchased this roughly a year ago as an upgrade to the 30 AMP model this product is durable, easy to install, and when paired with the BT-1 and the Renogy App makes this an essential part of any off grid solar setup. I would recommend this product over and over again. I currently have 500 watts of Renogy roof solar and an optional 400 watts of Renogy suitcase solar

                              MPPT 40
                              Nice product, MPPT seems to work well. LCD interface is intuitive and easy to work with. The Bluetooth interface is less friendly since you have to go thru a web style Interface first. I’d like a more direct approach.

                              Great product paired with the BT-1
                              High quality MPPT Controller. Currently I have it hooked up to (5) 100 watt Renogy Solar panels and (2) 12v Smart Lithium Iron Phosphate 100ah batteries and a 3000 watt Renogy Inverter. I plan on adding (2) more batteries in the future. This system is functioning flawlessly thus far. I am currently running a Instant On Boiler and (3) circulating pumps as whole house heating system. Paired with the BT-1 module it is easily monitored.

                              A good controller which comes with the normal Renogy customer support. A great team who will spend time solving your problems and giving advice. The only fault I can find is the LCD panel should have been back lit as it is on the PWM Voyager. It would have been so much easier to read.

                              No issues with the charge controller but still trying to get more power from the system. Probably need more panels.

                              I have had this up for 2 months. It has been handling 48volt, 2nd hand panels, so the voltages between them do fluctuate. It has been able to handle the fluctuations and deliver constant amperage to the battery bank. I am pleased with it.
