I've been running a 165 watt panel on a single deep cycle battery. For lights, 12/24v ice chest and inverter loads- charging phone, flash lights and tools. I can't say enough good about Morningstar and this little Sunsaver. Super simple and reliable. Set it and forget it. It has an excellent built in charging algorithm that you don't need to mess with and it is doing an excellent job of keeping my battery charged. All verified by amp and volt meter. Don't go with those cheap Chinese made $20 ones. They don't work well at all. Tried them. This far surpasses those by a mile. The Sunsaver works great for smaller needs and demands. Don't hesitate to get if this fits your parameters! BTW, I install lots of complicated larger RV and small cabin systems. I love the simplicity of these little units and I don't need to worry about them in the right application. ## Features - Morningstar SS-6L-12V SunSaver 6 Amp Charge Controller LVD - Length: 6.000, Width: 2.200, Height: 1.300 - Morningstar - Solar Panels & Batteries ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002MQOXVC | | Batteries | 1 Unknown batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | 332,036 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 2,691 in Charge Controllers & Accessories | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (159) | | Date First Available | 24 Aug. 2009 | | Item display height | 1.3 inches | | Item display length | 6 inches | | Item display weight | 454 g | | Item display width | 2.2 inches | | Item model number | SunSaver | | Item volume | 843 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | Morningstar | | Part number | SS-6L-12V | | Product Dimensions | 3.35 x 15.24 x 5.54 cm; 226.8 g | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Morningstar Corporation - **Colour:** white/black - **Item weight:** 0.5 Pounds - **UPC:** 733556560055 - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![Morningstar SunSaver Charge Controller SS-6L-12V by Morning Star - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61B+Sk58A4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What's the maximum size panel I can use with this controller?** A: 100 Watts. You need to add 20% headroom. A 100 (watts solar panel) divided by 12 (battery voltage) equals 8.33 multiplied by 1.20 (20%) equals 10 (solar charge controller amperage) **Q: Do I need to run my load through the controller, or can it go directly to battery? What are the advantages of running through the controller?** A: I'm afraid several have misunderstood the question. Without a low-voltage disconnect, the load connections on the controller are provided merely for connection convenience. It should be the same as connecting your load directly to the battery. There is no low-voltage protection either way. Unless you purchase the unit that contains the LVD **Q: Made in?** A: Morningstar controllers are manufactured in a fully automated world-class ISO 9001 facility in Taiwan. **Q: Will this work with my 160w panels on my motorhome** A: yes it will works, because the solar panel will produce about 10 A/h ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 27 April 2021* Works well ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***E on 11 November 2022* I own several of these 10 amp models and use them specifically for small applications.
