Flexcharge PV14 Marine Charge Controller 14A/12V

The Flexcharge PV14-12 14A Charge Controller for Photovoltaic Charging Systems is a cost effective shunting regulator designed for 12V Solar Only applications with a maximum solar charging current of 14A. The PV controller is extremely efficient, accurate, and small (3" x  4.75").  With its fully sealed electronics for 100% humidity operation it is ideal for use in a marine environment. Your can use it with Lead Acid flooded, AGM, or Gel battery technologies.

All shunting type regulators must use a blocking diode in the charging path to block the battery voltage when the controller is regulating.  The heat sink on the PV14 is used to dissipate the heat generated by the components when the controller is shunting and the battery can no longer take any more charge.

The PV14 includes an easy to read Charge Indicator.  The peak charge voltage is factory set so there are no user adjustments to contend with.  System wire connections are made by connecting to the controllers wire pigtails either by soldering or via a terminal strip. The PV14 is designed for install and forget about it!
