MidNite Solar MNKID-B The Kid MPPT Charge Controller

The MidNite KID 30 A MPPT charge controllers are suitable for small to medium-sized renewable energy systems. The KID works with 12, 24, 36, and 48 VDC battery systems and has a 150 VDC operating limit; but is not damaged with DC voltages as high as 162 VDC, due to MidNite's HyperVOC circuitry. The KID has a three-LED bar graph, showing battery-charge status, and a keypad to access extensive menu items and set-points.

The KID has a three-LED bar graph, showing battery-charge status, and a keypad to access extensive menu items and set-points. The KID controllers include a load control with load low-voltage disconnect (LVD). This can also be programmed as a lighting controller with dusk-to-dawn or various other on and off times. There is also a programmable AUX relay. Sealed electronics and passive cooling (no fans) make it ideal for use in harsh environments. There are front-panel breakers for input, battery, and load. The controller's operating temperature range is -40 ºC to +50 ºC but the controller will automatically de-rate at temperatures above 25 ºC. Add the battery-temperature sensor (BTS) to these models.
