## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Value and Performance, maybe?
*by T***R on June 16, 2014*

Original Review - June 2014I used the Schumacher charge controller after having a disappointing experience with a competing model from battery tender. The battery tender model gave me a fast flashing yellow light that indicated that the charge controller was defective. Amazon gave me a full refund.I purchased two of the Shumacher controllers. The first one went to use right away and is excellent. Notice that it includes the connectors on the charger, the connectors are clearly labeled, and the charge allows for a Battery connection, solar panel connection, and a load connection. It also provides LED status lights to aid you in your diagnostics and panel placement (it tells you when you have a low and high power orientation to the sun).I have also purchased solar chargers from sun force (that I like, but not as much as this one). The sun force 7a model lasted two years, and then needed to be replaced.Updated Review June 24, 2014The second charge controller was used with a 50w panel (the charge controller is rated to 100W). I plugged it into the panel with full sun and none of the lights on the charge controller were lit. Keeping it plugged in, I checked the wiring. The charge controller started to smoke, the smoke was coming from the opening where the wires exit the unit. I picked up the controller and it burned my hand. I unplugged all wires and amazon agreed to exchange it. Because I like the design, I am going to give it another try.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The culprit is the cable polarity of solar panel.  The solution is very simple and it works!
*by S***R on August 8, 2017*

Many people complaint reverse polarity of the cables on the charge regulator but in fact it does NOT matter. The real culprit is the cable polarity of the solar panel. Cable is the combination of several wires. To explain, first we need to clarify: red wire does not mean that it must be positive, rather if it connects negative on the circuit it can be negative. On my unit all red wires connect to + on the charge regulator. Second same idea applies to the SAE connector, I call them black (black plastic) and silver (silver metal, the naked end) -- either one can be positive or negative depending on where it connects.That said, since the solar panel is energy giving, its cable polarity will determine the polarity of all the cables downstream. As many of us buying third party solar panels, we need to first use a multi meter to determine the cable polarity of the panel. Picture 1 shows positive voltage and picture 2 indicates negative voltage (minus sign under DC) when I reverse the leads. Picture 3 shows wires are properly labeled as positive vs negative. Second be sure when solar panel's SAE connects to the SAE of the charge regular, positive wire must attach to the positive in the regulator circuit. The SAE on my panel needs to flipflop so picture 3 also shows the new connections with blue wire connectors.To confirm if there is current going from the panel thru the regulator to the battery, a positive voltage should show on the multi meter when its leads are attached to "battery" SAE on the regulator. In this way the 12V battery will be properly charged.

### ⭐ It was junk for me...
*by S***T on February 21, 2025*

Hooked this up to a small solar panel to keep the battery charged on a seldom used car that's parked on the street in front of my house. Connected to the car via the utility (cigarette lighter) port on the car. I get no lights on the charge controller indicating that it is doing anything, and indeed it does not appear to be passing power through to the battery as the battery was basically dead both times that I checked it. Had to jump start the car with a small jump starter box (which does work magically well). The solar panel tested functional, so it is definitely a problem with the charge controller. Unfortunately, I didn't discover this until just past the 30 return window, so I'm out the little bit of cash I spent on it.
