Product Review
The Renogy Wanderer-Li is a 30A PWM solar charge controller that integrates efficient PWM charging to increase battery life and improve system performance. Designed with a simple interface for ease of use, the controller uses multiple LED indicators to notify users of charge status and battery information. This newly improved model has two advanced features: an RS232 port and Lithium battery charging. With the addition of the RS232 port, users can now connect and communicate with the Renogy BT-1 Bluetooth module. By adding the BT-1 to the Wanderer-Li, you can now use the smartphone app, Renogy BT, to monitor and adjust your solar system remotely. With the inclusion of the Lithium Battery Mode, the 30A negative-ground controller is now capable of charging various 12V battery types and banks, including most 12V lithium models available on the market.

- 【Optimized for 12V Batteries】Compatible with 12V battery banks on the market, including lithium batteries. The LED indicators allow you to set battery types and check the charging staus with ease.
- 【Smart 4-Stage PWM Charging】Smart 4-Stage PWM charging (Bulk, Boost, Float, and Equalization) increases battery life and improves system performance. Intelligent protection against reverse polarity, overcharging, short-circuit, and reverse current.
- 【Compact in size】Which makes it easy to install virtually anywhere.
- 【Multiple battery adaptation】 Deep Cycle Sealed (AGM), Gel, Flooded and Lithium battery option ready.
- 【Wanderer10A|30A Installation Notes】 The default starting position of the Wanderer controller terminal hatches are closed (in the UP position) that could mistakenly look like an open wire hatch. Make sure to FIRST lower each terminal hatch by screwing the terminals counterclockwise (CCW) to expose the wire terminal hatch to the open position. THEN secure each cable by rotating the screws clockwise (CW) to the closed position.
- 【Remote Monitoring】 The RS232 communication port allows the Renogy Rover charge controller to communicate with the DC Home app and Renogy ONE M1 via the Renogy BT-1 Bluetooth module (highly recommend to add-on ). This will enable you to monitor the status and productivity of your panels on the go.
