Description: The Brunton Solar Controller 12v Battery Charging Monitor is an helpful tool to help you avoid overcharging your 12-volt batteries. The manufacturer says that once connected you can charge your 12v battery nonstop for days. The controller will cut off the power when charging is complete. It’s also good for maintaining the battery in its fully charged state (i.e. RV parked for days or boats). It’s compatible with most of the solar panels (of different brands too) available.

Not so impressive but compact and useful
The controller is easy to install and provides an indication of “charging” or “charged”.
Nearly 30 dollar is a good price considering the quality of this tool and cost savings of not having a “fried battery”
It measures 3.8 x 1 x 2.7 inches; weighs 4.2 ounces.
Before you attach it to the battery both the CHARGING and BATTERY FULL light will be on. Once you hook it up to the battery it works well. It looks very standard in its construction. Versatile for every solar panels.

Is the Brunton Solar Controller 12-Volt Battery Charge Monitor weather and temperature proof? I would like to use this for my RV year round.
Steve,
yes it should be proof. Consider the place where you’ll be install it. I don’t reccommend You to put it near the top of Your RV.
Hope it helps

What solar powered battery charger do I need to get for my boyfriends boat? He wants to use it as a back up source for charging the battery while on the water?
I have a 140watt bifold panel.
which solar controller would be best to use with this panel to keep my battery bank of 175ah (agm) charged.
