[SOLD] Morningstar 30Amp Solar Charge Controller unit
I have upgraded my solar charge controller in the 110, so the Morningstar is available if anyone is interested.

Its 30 amp capacity, has various clever functions - will manage the charge on your aux battery (as I had it set up) or starter battery, has separate 'sense' wires to accurately determine battery voltage, and a Load circuit, which I had my fridge connected to. When sufficient solar charge is present the Load circuit runs the fridge off solar and puts any surplus charge to the battery.

When the solar charge drops in the evening the unit switches to supply the load circuit/fridge from your battery. When the battery voltage drops below the safety cut-off threshold it shuts off the fridge to prevent battery over-discharge.

Been in the van for a couple of years now working flawlessly, well protected from dirt and damp. The current model of this unit is erm...massivelly increased in price! See enclosed pic.

I'm looking for £50 and probably £5 or £6 for postage & insurance.
