LiTime 60Amp MPPT 

Yes sir, unfortunately this is a common problem. I'm sorry you had to go through it. Hope all is well now!

Awesome! Thanks 😃

Yup, seems pretty solid. Thanks

I think this is a rebranded unit, OEM is HQST.

You are correct!

NO, the OEM is Helios.​@@lawrencedavidson6195

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, glad to help!

You're welcome!

Thanks! Yes, I actually have a simple system video with their mini battery ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q5GYv2iU5mk.html

Yeah, seems pretty solid, and yes I noticed the inverter. Pretty cool stuff!

Yes. I see the LiTime app now, they must have just got it up there. Thanks

Nice!

Thanks!

Thanks 😃

Yes, it is the same as the HQST, additionally the HQST comes with a low temp sensor. I was also able to use either the ChargePro App or the Li Time App to monitor my HQST controller.

And cheaper!

HQST was 180 shipped total. 12/23

Are you sure they are the same inside?

@@maxhughes5687 Manufactured on the same assembly line, all the features and technical details are identical. You can probably find a video of them being disassembled.

I do my best. :) Thanks Ben!

Absolutely! Lots of good competition, good for us consumers. Keep it coming!

Nice. Yeah I'm digging this thing. Someone commented that these are made by HELIOS. I checked out their site, and grabbed their Bluetooth app. I'll probably follow up with this real soon.

Do the litime/redodo rebrand have the temp sensor/ low temp cutoff?

Can you adjust what tempature it cuts off at for instance 5 degrees Celsius?

@@BobBob-il2ku - I don't believe so. The HQST is a rebranded Renogy.

@@BobBob-il2ku - I'm not sure about that.

Thanks! Yup, from what I understand, they are all made by Helios New Energy. Yes the ChargePro 2.0 app does work!

@@BradCagle I just ordered one to try it out too.

I did go with the HQST for tye two 100 watt panels for $140 total

Nice, that's a much better warranty. Makes a big difference.

I am very very new at all of this and just wanted to do it all correct the first time and don’t like having to sell things on pennies on the dollar used and buy up. Hopefully I made the correct choices here

yes, the app is on the app stores now

It's a Sun Fun Kits battery, it has a BlueTooth BMS. It has all the shunt features built in. There are many batteries on the market with Blurtooth like this.

@@BradCagle Oh, I see!!!!! I find my self too attached to Litime batteries because they have been very reliable batteries for me and I dont think they have any battery with inbuilt bluetooth BMS like this. Do you have any recommended 100ah battery with this feature. I hate going to my garage to check my shunt manually everytime to see my battery percentage. This is why I love my Ecoflow portable power station. I can easily monitor the whole system right from my room. But portable power stations can be sometimes pricy. Do you have a budget battery option that you can recommend that has Bluetooth BMS inbuilt apart the Sun Fun Kits battery. Doesnt look like I have heard the name of that battery before. Something in the range of $300 to $350 for an 100ah. That is the price range of most 100ah Lifepo4 batteries.

They have an inverter too :) Should I ask them to send one?

Yes. However you would need to limit the current to 15a-20a as AGM does not like to charge that fast. Basically it's way overkill.

Yes absolutely

Looks like $239 after $30 coupon. amzn.to/3pNH0eb

The PV config I had here was 3 x 435w sunpower panels in parallel

@@BradCagle nice...this might be way too much for my needs then... i think ill be a good with a 30amp MPPT just using 1 12v or maybe get another 12v battery... only going to be powering up fans,lighting,phones,laptops,tablets maybe a small space heater,tv microwave,solder iron smaller heat gun for my mobile home... but this 60amp one get me thinking if i want to upgrade later down the road to 24v power on 2000+ inverter so this 60amp one will be a one time buy ....60amps is lot of power can charge that 12v 100 less then 2 hours .... love the vids and help thanks

@@thatonebeone They have a 30amp too amzn.to/3K2OS22

​@thatonebeone Really good thinking to expand in the future. I believe he said this unit also goes to 48 V so this one controller would last you a long, long way through your solar journey. Also, buy the largest gauge wires you can possibly afford for the same reasons.

Yes the solution is to lower your charging voltage. It's your battery going into protect mode because one or more cells is getting too high. For example if you have a 12v LiFePO4 battery, and have the charger set to 14.4v or 14.6v, then go down to 14.2v, or 14.4v respectively. Keep lowering by .1 or .2 until the problem goes away. Don't worry about charging to a lower voltage, you'll still get fully charged. Also keep in mind this is not a problem with the charger, it's actually the cell balance of your battery, and it may actually improve over time, you may be able to raise the voltage later if the balance improves. This is common, as most batteries I review will not charge to the full 14.6v, usually they will hit 14.2v . If you look at Victron's defaults, it's 14.2v, which is smart because they know people are going to hit this problem frequently at 14.4v, and 14.6v. Hope that helps!

@@BradCagle Thank you so much, reducing the volatage worked. I used 14.4V it did not work, I had to go down to 13.8V. I saw someone write in another forum that they used 13.8V. 13.8V seem to stop the error. Thank you🙏

@@EasyyokeFilms Great! Give it a week, and see if you can bump it up to 14.0, or 13.9. Ideally 14.2v would be great, but if you cant get there, no worries. You'll be fine.

Question I was a bit confuse when you say you were getting 60 amps into the system you were saying 60 amps into the solar controller ? Or 60 amps going into the battery ????

About 127F with 98F ambient outside.

@@BradCagle thanks. That sounds pretty good. What size wires were you're running from the controller?

@@PWoods-cd6tk They were 2awg, and it was too much. After I remove them, I could see some of the strands were bunched up. 4awg would be the better choice.

@@BradCagle I appreciate the video. This looks like a good controller.

@@PWoods-cd6tk Thanks!

Thanks. I think the company that makes them all is called HELIOS

Yes I think so, a viewer replied that these are made by HELIOS. I checked their site, and looks the same. I think I'll try their app. I'll look for Hobo-Tech's video. Thanks!

Yes, it looks exactly like the HQST charge controller that Hobotech reveiwed. They look exactly thesame with just the branding made different.

1 year vs 5 year warranty with LiTime

I have not had an issue, connects every time for me. I have an an older Motorola phone.

@@BradCagle I have been using the LiTime app, and connects mostly everytime, and shows Bluetooth at 4 bars, where the ChargePro 2.0 is at 2 bars.

Sure does! I just looked that up, and it looks identical. Thanks!

@@BradCagle both made by Helios.

@@alpinerep Great info, Thanks!

@@BradCagle was you ever able to get the Bluetooth or app stuff to work with that controller? I got my victron 150-70 the other day but they sent me the blue solar edition instead of the smartsolar so I sent it back to Amazon. Hopefully they refund my money in a day or two and I can reorder the smart one

@@matthewknight5641 Yes, LiTime sent me a link. I also found an app from a company that I think make this hardware. I'll try them soon. Man that's a bummer about them sending you the wrong controller. Hope you get that worked out!

Yeah I think it's 150v Max.
