MPPT 1210 HUS - Battery & USB Charger ​

Development Stage Tested prototype, evaluation boards available.

This charge controller is based on the 20A MPPT, but has reduced number of components and cheaper DC/DC power stage for 10A.

The power is sufficient for small 12V applications with up to 150 W solar panels.

With the integrated dual USB output you can directly charge your mobile phone or power other devices such as Raspberry Pi.

Features ​

  • Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
  • 12V nominal battery voltage
  • 10A max. charging current
  • 40V max. solar input (36 to 48-cell panels, ideally so-called 12V panels with 36 cells)
  • Ultra low-power 32bit ARM MCU (STM32L072)
  • Dual USB charging ports
  • Expandable via Olimex Universal Extension Connector (UEXT) featuring I2C, Serial and SPI interface (e.g. used for display, WIFI communication, etc.)
  • Built-in protection:
    • Overvoltage
    • Undervoltage
    • Overcurrent
    • PV short circuit
    • PV reverse polarity
    • Battery reverse polarity (destructive, fuse is blown)
