i've used different controllers, these are the great little controllers ,simple to setup, will last as long as you don't go over 35 amps from panels. Seens like the voltage gets a little unstable at 40 amps and the unit gets hot i drill small holes and install a small computer fan to help cool the controller, helps to stabilize voltage , never had any problems.

No issues. Has worked flawlessly for 2 years now

First, keep in mind I'm using the 60 AMP controller. And that it replaced the 20 AMP controller that I had been using for almost a year. Secondly, these things WORK. I've never had a problem with this brand of controllers. And reading the other reviews that have negative things to say. It's easy to see that they most likely did not know what they were doing. Do some research and learn what you need to figure out if this is your first time dealing with charge controllers or any off the grid equipment. These don't require a lot of know how to use.The size of this size through me off for a bit, it's surprisingly big but it is at least twice the size of the 20AMP controller. Changing when DC load is on and off is pretty easy, but if you want actual controller of exactly when the load is on or off. Tie a switch in line with the circuit and just leave the load on all the time so long as the batteries have enough volts to give.It has me rating warmth, which is something I've never been asked to rate. I gave it five stars because of the fact this is an electronic item that handles electric current for batteries. I've never felt any of my controllers get hot, let alone warm. I'm sure that if i bumped that amps up closer to their limit they would, but I have always kept amps at least 10 below the limit of every controller I've purchased.I love these controllers, and I will be ordering more as I continue to upgrade from 20 amp controllers, to the 60 amp controllers. These things really don't require any maintenance. They'll keep going on their own so long as they have solar panels giving them power, and batteries to store that power.I get this question a lot so I'll add it here. The load off of this controller is DC power. The controller does not invert the DC power from the panels to AC power. Whatever you power from the controllers load terminals, must be DC in order to power it. You CAN NOT hook up your house lights, for example, to the DC load of this controller. It will not work. Either invert(with an inverter from you auto parts store) the power from the batteries, or purchase DC light bulbs. DC power and AC power do not mix, keep them separate.

When I bought this the description claimed it could charge lifepo4 batteries. Took me quite a while to get around to playing with it. In the mean time they removed that claim. Oh well. It was very cheap and you never know, I may come across some cheap lead acid batteries. I'll keep it just in case.

Terrible purchase. Don't buy. Cheap and will damage your battery because it carry little to no protection

The amperage upgrade has been very beneficial.

I use this to control 12 volts / 150 watts coming in from 3 panels into a 12v, 50ah lithium-ion battery. The battery is used to charge my cordless power tools and Razor scooter through the night.I set the timer to 00 and it works well enough, but "dusk to dawn" is subjective depending on where you live, I think. Here in Northen California the unit was still not loading at 8:00pm, likely because there was still an appreciable amount of sunlight to stop the timer from recognizing "dusk". It'd be awesome if this thing actually had a clock and a way to set a VERY specific time for the load to turn on/off. I'd give this 5-stars for that.
