Hi all, I've purchased the 100 Watt/12 Volt Monocrystalline Solar Panel and Wanderer 30A PWM Charge Controller and I have a question about hooking up a DC load in the system. I understand that I'll hook the panel to the CC, and then the CC to the battery posts. My question is, do I just hook the DC load to the battery posts as well? Or maybe the better question is, does the CC output 12V? I want to make sure that I'm not giving my DC load more voltage than it is rated for. Thanks!

they recommend the cc be hooked to the battery bank with fuse in between. then from battery post to fuse block. problem with that is lenght of wire. i have ours hooked up cc to fuse to buss bar all 12 volt is hooked to buss bar and fused in and out from buss bar. yes the cc can output 12 volt if it is setup for that voltage, and no dont hook 12 volt draw right to cc. there has to be a battery hooked up first. if you go to renogys tab for show and tell where people post pictures of there set up you can get a visual. i have ours posted under diy junk parts solar. i have been running the set up for a year and no 12 volt has overloaded or failed because of high charge voltage. the pros would hook it up cc to 12 volt fuse panel not buss bar,which renogy does sell the fuse panel, then to all 12 volt.

Hello Mike,
You won't need to connect the CC DC load terminal to the battery post. If you already have your 12 volt loads connected to the battery bank you can leave the CC load terminal without any connections.
