Solar & Charge Controllers

Solar & Charge Controllers are designed to maximise the performance and efficiency of your off-grid power system, keeping your batteries charged safely and reliably wherever your adventures or work take you. Our range includes advanced MPPT solar charge controllers and DC/DC chargers with integrated MPPT technology, providing faster, more efficient charging from solar panels, vehicle alternators and auxiliary power sources. Ideal for caravans, campers, 4WDs, boats, motorhomes and off-grid installations, charge controllers feature intelligent multi-stage charging, battery protection and compatibility with modern LiFePO4 lithium batteries as well as AGM, gel and lead-acid batteries. Backed by local Australian support, genuine accessories and nationwide freight, Scintex offers premium solar charging solutions that deliver dependable power in Australia's toughest conditions.

A charge controller regulates voltage and current from the solar panel, protecting batteries from overcharging and excessive discharge while improving battery life.
PWM controllers are economical for smaller systems, while MPPT controllers extract more energy from the panels and are usually the better choice for larger or higher-voltage installations.
Many controllers allow additional panel capacity within specified limits. Always follow the manufacturer's maximum input voltage and current ratings.
Poor battery charging, fault codes, overheating or incorrect voltage readings can indicate a problem, although battery or wiring faults should also be ruled out.
Install it close to the batteries in a dry, well-ventilated location with adequate cable sizing to minimise voltage drop.
