CruzPro CC-20 Automatic Charge Controller 8A 12VDC

No frills charge controller

The CruzPro CC-20 Automatic Charge Controller senses battery voltage and connects/disconnects your charging source (solar panels, dumb charger) depending on the battery voltage. The CC-20 enables you to leave your charging source connected permanently without fear of damaging overcharges or excess electrolyte loss. You are assured you have a fully charged battery whenever you need it.

Three front panel LEDs show you what the CC-20 is doing at all times: in "Charge" mode, "Float" mode, or if your battery is in an overcharged "High" condition.

The lower and upper trip limits are factory preset at 13.1 and 14.4 VDC but can easily be adjusted from 11.5 to 14.5 VDC (low limits) and 13.5 to 16.5 VDC (high limits) thereby covering wet, gell and Ni-Cd batteries. Accuracy is maintained to +/- 0.05 VDC over the full operating temperature range. The CCA-20 handles up to 8 amps at an efficiency of 99.8% at 8 amps.

The CC20 has built-in user adjustable battery over-voltage detection that activates an alarm LED. The alarm output signal can also be connected to the optional LA-20 External Multi Alarm. The LA-20 has provisions for connecting up to six instruments and provides an amazing 105 dB of volume.
