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!
Hello SargeE8. Thank you for reaching out to Renogy. The Rover 40A Charge Controller does not have a dedicated on/off switch. The unit will automatically turn on once the battery is connected and will turn off when the battery is disconnected. We hope this information helps!
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.
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.

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.
Hi, Yes, you can. The Rover 40a is compatible with AGM, GEL, Flooded, and Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries that are deep cycle.
Hi Gilr, Thank you for sending your inquiry. Here's the max input for our Renogy Rover 40 Amp 12V/24V DC Input MPPT Solar Charge Controller Auto Parameter Adjustable LCD Display 12V/520W, 24V/1040W. Hope it helps.
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
