The purpose of a charge controller is to regulate the charging and discharging of lead acid batteries.
Phocos solar charge controllers have advanced features like the use of a pulse-width modulation algorithm to protect your deep-cycle battery from overcharging or discharging, from reverse polarity, overload and short circuit. Cables from a 12V load (eg. lights or coolers), the solar panel and the battery are connected into the solar charge controller. In this way the charge controller regulates the current coming from the panel into the battery and in turn into the load (or appliance). A DC/AC inverter can be connected into the charge controller in place of the load to supply power of 110/220V continuously for a period of time into an appliance that requires 220V.
