📋 Overview
The VT Series PWM Solar Charge Controllers are a heavy-duty upgrade for off-grid solar systems, regulating power between your solar array and battery bank to protect against overcharging. Unlike our standard-line controllers, the VT Series charges both lead-acid (Gel, Sealed, Flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4, LiConMnNiO2) batteries with user-defined parameter support, accepts up to 100V of solar input, and is built with a larger housing and heavier terminals for demanding installations. Choose from three current ratings — 30A, 40A, or 60A — to match your system size.
⭐ Key Features & Benefits
- Dual Battery Chemistry Support — Charges lead-acid batteries (Gel, Sealed, Flooded) and lithium batteries (LiFePO4, LiConMnNiO2), with user-defined charging parameters for both.
- Wide Voltage Compatibility — Supports 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V battery banks. 12V, 24V, and 48V are auto-detected; 36V systems are set manually.
- High Input Voltage — Accepts solar array input up to 100V open-circuit voltage, so you can wire more panels in series.
- Backlit LCD Display — Easy-to-read status and settings screen, even in low light.
- Quad USB Charging Ports — 4× USB outputs at 5V/2A each (2 per side) for charging phones, tablets, and other devices directly from the controller.
- Rugged Mounting — Metal mounting lugs on both sides for secure wall or cabinet installation.
- Heavy-Duty Terminals — 6 large-aperture terminal blocks with wider spacing accept thicker cable (6AWG for 30A/40A models, 4AWG for 60A model) for high-current wiring.
- Superior Heat Dissipation — Larger housing and bigger heat sink keep the controller stable under extended full-load operation in high heat.

🚀 Getting Started
Setting up the VT Series controller is straightforward:
- Connect the battery to the controller first, and confirm the LCD display turns on.
- Connect your load (lights, devices, etc.).
- Connect the solar panel last.
- Set the system voltage and battery type to match your battery bank.
💡 Tip: See our complete User Guide tab for the full connection sequence, battery/voltage setup instructions, model comparison, and troubleshooting tips.
⚠️ Important Notes
- The battery must always be connected first, before the load or solar panel — connecting a live solar panel to an unpowered controller can permanently damage it.
- 36V system voltage is not auto-detected and must be set manually.
- Lithium battery types must be manually configured — set the system voltage first, then select the matching lithium battery type.
