Hello SargeE8. Thank you for reaching out to Renogy. The Rover 40A Charge Controller terminals can accommodate wire sizes up to 8 AWG. Unfortunately, a 4 AWG wire will not fit. We hope this information is helpful!

      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.

        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.

            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.

                      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
