Supporting up to 7 amps and 105 watts of solar power, it ensures your solar energy system operates efficiently with clear LED indicators for charging status. ## Description The Sunforce 60012 7 Amp Charge Controller prevents overcharging and discharging of 12 Volt batteries. It is intended for use with 12 Volt solar panels and maintains 12 Volt batteries in a fully charged state. It can handle up to 7 amps of array current and up to 105 watts of solar power. The controller is easy to use with a yellow charging light that indicates that your battery is charging, and a green light that indicates a fully charged battery. Review: Cheap, and it works! - I bought this charge controller to use with a smaller panel I put on my camper this summer. It worked flawlessly, and is small enough to fit into the battery box with my marine battery. No complaints at all, and I like that even in dim light -- it still has an LED that shows you it is charging the battery with a solar panel. Easy to use, and very simply to set up. If you have crimp, solder, or twist electrical wires -- you can add one of these to your new solar rig. Have fun learning solar technology! Review: This WAS a good value at the price i paid - I know, it's a cluster, i tinker a lot, so the shed doesn't get fancy boxes/enclosures When i bought this exact item (desertcart is the actual seller currently and was also the seller back when i purchased the product) it was $8.50 and i just wanted to hook up a 12v SLA deer feeder battery with a 5 watt solar panel. Every thing i researched basically said i didn't NEED a charge controller at that wattage, but i do know over-charging is bad for batteries, so i bought this cheapo on/off charge controller and it does what is says cuts-out @ 14.2v (sometimes we tap 14.3v for less than a second but instantly drops w/cut-out) and cuts-in at 13v. It does not say PWM charging, it does not say MPPT charging, this controller is nothing fancy and i would have never paid $18 for it like it is currently listed for. At the time of purchase, i also bought a cheapo PWM controller (for another project) and it was cheaper than this item currently is and i can still find identical PWM controllers (upgraded actually since now they include USB ports) that are cheaper than this SUNFORCE controller. Unless they bring this price back down, i'd say get a real charger, especially if you are using a real deep-cycle battery. I would not recommend this product to anybody while there is better, cheaper, and more feature rich products abundantly available (unless you are just too lazy to spend 20 min on the internet figuring out what voltages you need set in (or atleast check and confirm appropriate defaults), in which case, shame on you for taking on a technical project while refusing to learn the technical details) I have given it the credit it deserves, it works, and for me it was a good value at the time, but this item is 214% the price it was a year ago (i.e. 114% more than i paid for it) and there are many products that are better and even had improvements while staying at the same price point from a year ago. This sunforce charge controller really is nothing special, 7A charging w/o PWM or MPPT, right now i have a different 10A PWM charge controller in my cart, it is under $15, has a display, adjustable settings (if you like), and even load terminals to ignore (just wire up same as this model, only connect your battery and PV panel to the controller and wire your load straight off the battery) Dear desertcart: i have copied this review and saved it as a word document. If you take down this review too, i will repost it. I have not listed any competitor prices or SPECIFIC products aside from the product being review. It has been compared to another similar product, all items mentioned are relevant to the product reviewed. ## Features - Protects battery from overcharge and discharge - For use with 12 Volt solar panels and batteries only - Handles up to 7 amps of array current and up to 105 watts of solar power - Maintains 12V batteries in a fully charged state - Operation: Yellow charging light indicates battery charging and green light indicates fully charged battery ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0006JO0XI | | Best Sellers Rank | #587,064 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #629 in Renewable Energy Controllers | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (586) | | Date First Available | August 29, 2004 | | Display Type | LED or LCD | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00834319000662 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 5.6 ounces | | Item model number | 60012 | | Manufacturer | Sunforce | | Manufacturer Part Number | 60012 | | Product Dimensions | 4 x 2.25 x 7 inches | | UPC | 834319000662 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sunforce - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 0.35 Pounds - **Material:** Plastic - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![Sunforce 7 Amp Charge Controller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61b3-w7eHmL.jpg) ![Sunforce 7 Amp Charge Controller - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51FQYGO+NoL.jpg) ![Sunforce 7 Amp Charge Controller - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qF6yZx1WL.jpg) ![Sunforce 7 Amp Charge Controller - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51y2AP-wd1L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Won't it overcharge a 12V car battery? "Cut-out voltage" is 13V, right? So it'll charge and charge it. Car battery IMHO never reaches 13v.** A: Car batteries need what is called a positive bias, or a higher voltage than what the battery is rated at. Your car will charge it at 14.5 volts. The solar system will use around 13.5. When your battery is fully charged, it will read 12.7 on a volt meter. I don't know what IMHO is. The Sunforce unit will work great **Q: I have 4.... 85 watt solar pannels connected to 6... 6volt batters connected to make 12 volts system... my controller keeps b lowing fuses....** A: One 85 watt panel Should deliver around 7 amps at 12 volts in full sun. If you have all 4 panels connected through a single (7 amp) controller, it is way overloaded. Sounds like you might need 3 more controllers or simply a bigger controller unit. **Q: What would be the max charge rate expected out of this 7 amp controller from a 15 watt solar panel? Thanks.** A: You will not get more amps than the panel can produce. Watts= Volts X Amps. A 15 Watt panel @13.5 Volts will charge at 1.1 amps. **Q: I am wanting to make a 14.8v battery pack out of lithium batteries. Can this charge controller be used for this purpose?** A: I think that's unlikely. The controller is designed to charge 12v batteries and likely won't throughout a voltage high enough to charge your 14.8 packs. I cannot say definitively, but I think that's outside the usage expectations of this item. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap, and it works! *by C***L on June 4, 2013* I bought this charge controller to use with a smaller panel I put on my camper this summer.

I chose this controller for the low cost, and the small size. It fits perfectly, and worked perfectly to control the incoming solar charge. We had ample power the entire 5 days, even though 5 guys were using the pack to recharge our various electronics. One note: if you're using a battery tender, you'll need to attach it directly to the battery, as the minder doesn't kick in when it can't immediately sense the battery (because of the controller in the way). ## Frequently Bought Together - Sunforce 7 Amp Charge Controller - MTM Hydro Easy Hold SG35 Spray Gun for Your Pressure Washer Commercial Grade --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1755281-sunforce-7-amp-charge-controller](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1755281-sunforce-7-amp-charge-controller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
