Better Power Control

 

 

We spotted this in Supreme's new Outback Caravan designed by Gary Kratzmann in Brisbane - a $40,000 plus job. We liked the way you could actually get at the wiring and the amount of information available on the Lyncom controller. This van had an all electric 12 volt very large Coolrite fridge. This was driven by dual batteries and a 120 watt solar panel. This system could easily be adapted to your A'van or Chalet using a smaller fridge. Worth thinking about for those planning extended stays in Cairns/Darwin/Broome etc. More information on www.solar-electric.com/n25m.html - we couldn't find Lyncom's own site, but there are dozens of USA resellers with loads of info as this appears to be a very respected brand. USA prices are around $150 for 25 amp models. The extract below is from Northern Arizona Wind and Sun - address above. PV means solar. Lots of good general knowledge info on this site as well.

Lyncom’s microprocessor based charge controllers incorporate state-of-the-art design and advanced pulse-width-modulation (PWM) battery charging operation, offering the highest quality and more features of comparably priced PV controllers. Field proven PWM design for battery charging, reduces water loss, extends battery life, and allows more daily amp-hours into the battery as compared to traditional “on-off” controllers. Models N25 & N35 are advanced PV system charge and load controllers for 12 or 24 volt solar systems rated up to 25 or 35 amps, intended for PV applications such as remote homes, cabins, house-boats, campground & recreation facilities, or telecom sites. Models N25 & N35 display four system charging status LED’s. The reverse polarity protection circuit design features a reverse polarity – red LED for PV, or battery, ensuring proper hook-up. Models N25 & N35 are controllers featuring a built-in LCD digital system monitor which accurately displays battery voltage, push buttons display PV and load currents. A load management-low voltage load disconnect circuit (LVD) is standard on all models, and prevents battery over-discharge during extended overcast periods.
