<br><br>Has anyone dealt with them? They have some great prices on charge controllers right, now. They don't get stellar reviews, online. although there aren't many. &nbsp;I treid to call to get a feel for their service, but no one is available.<br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><a href="http://www.solarhome.org/bzproductsmppt250mpptchargecontroller.aspx" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">The mppt250 is $110.95</span></a></strong></span></span><br>and <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.solarhome.org/search.aspx?find=bz+mppt500" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">the mppt500 is $189.85</span></a></span></strong></span><br><br>Bz lists the 250 for $160 and the 500 for $280<br><br>Amazon is listing the 500 for $242.00

They dont cost to much but from what I see u cant change any of the settings,, all are preset and most of the controllers I've seen dont allow u to do that and thats important because again most controllers settings are set to low to completely charge the batteries properly,, batteries are all different therefor u need to be able to adjust settings such as the bulk, float etc! To pack all current into the batteries and then keep it there!

you probably bought a charger already but here's my to cents for anyone thinking of a BZ mppt charger. I bought my 500 from solarhome and it arrived well packaged and on time.<br><br>I installed it and it has been working now for a month or so with no problems.<br>I like it because of the digital meter that shows amps from solar panel, amps into battery and the current charge rate in volts.<br>The float charge is adjustable (preset to 14.1) see the specs here:<br><a href="http://www.bzproducts.net/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/MPPT500.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><br>http://www.bzproducts.net/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/MPPT500.pdf</a>
