Is there a better charge controller to use other than the one the kit came with?

A SIMPLE ONE, Get a Xantrex C-60 and a diversion load in the form of 4 of the 2 ohm 100 watt resistors, Look for the gold colored "metal clad resistors in 2 ohm 100 watt" google that, see what you find then google installing them on you tube. DON'T buy crap from YOU TUBE SELLER VIDEO MAKERS, IF THEY HAVE A LINK TO BUY or LOOK FROM THEM AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!! windynation DOT com does have the exact parts too. See if they still have a video on how to install them. Your best bet see what they have too for products and links to products.

Check to see if the connector may be the same as Tek-Nek products. Those chargers are still available. If all else fails, this charger will work, if a bit clumsy to use: Sealed Lead Acid Battery Charger UPG D1724

I am powering a dc fan in my roof vent using two of them. If you connect to battery you need a charging controller. dc motors dont care to much what the voltage , more on the load

Would love to hear how it works out. I would also make sure that your Charge controller can handle the load, if this is an all on to the existing system.

Yes, You should put a charge controller in line to batteries, rated at the proper amps/watts so you don't overcharge batt.

It all depends on which charge controller you choose. If your charge controller is rated for 24V then you're good.

Mppt controllers usually cycle just like pwm controller depending on load light etc at 200watts the mppt controller isn't IMHO the best controller for charging at lower wattages. Check your manual that came with the charge controller.

Yes, this is a complete kit you just have to unpack, put batteries in the controller and charge the included battery that comes with the kit. The battery is quite good, but you should plan to get an upgraded charger, because the one that comes with the kit takes a long time, like 14 hours, to charge the included battery. However, an upgraded charger will only take a couple hours (if that) and is as low as $50 to $80, so it's a good thing to buy.

Not sure but I would try Radio Shack because it is probably a standard commonly found charger? Good Luck!

I've used separate chargers, but only the low powered ones, like with my fitbit but not with the higher powered ones.

I currently have a Morningstar TSMPPT60 to charge my battery bank. I previously had another charge controller that was also MPPT but it was not very efficient. I am using x2 gauge wiring on both the - and + input to the inverter.

It is actually a proprietary charging device. You may want to contact the manufacturer.

No, You can not add another charge controller to the load side of the Prostar. You need to connect directly to the battery.

try idolpad plus car charger listed on Amazon. It seems to be similar product and spec as Idolian Idolpad plus. The charger specs the same.

I use HQRP charge controller but you could use any other brand. Not sure, if you plan to add panel to existing Thunderbold setup or what is your requirement

I use a computer controlled smart charger. There are lots of good options out there.
