Product Information
Full details
The Renogy Adventurer-Li 30A PWM Charge Controller is an ideal solution for RV, camper, and van life enthusiasts who require a sleek, flush-mounted energy management system capable of supporting multiple battery chemistries including Lithium. Its primary benefit is the combination of versatile 12V/24V compatibility and seamless remote monitoring via the Renogy DC Home app, though users should note that as a PWM controller, it is most efficient when solar array voltage closely matches the battery bank voltage.

FAQs
Can I use this with a 24V solar array?
Yes, the Adventurer-Li is capable of operating with both 12V and 24V photovoltaic systems.
Does this controller come with Bluetooth built-in?
No, you must purchase the Renogy BT-1 Bluetooth module separately to enable remote monitoring via the DC Home app.
Is this a MPPT or PWM controller?
This is a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) charge controller.
What is the maximum charging current?
The controller supports a maximum charging current of 30 Amps.
Can I mount this on a surface instead of flushing it?
Yes, the product includes an attachment that allows for surface mounting if you prefer not to cut into your wall.
Will this work with LiFePO4 batteries?
Yes, the controller features programmable lithium charging settings compatible with most lithium batteries.
Troubleshooting
LCD screen does not turn on
Check the battery connection polarity and ensure the battery voltage is at least 9V to wake the controller.
Controller not charging battery
Ensure the solar panel wires are secure and the panels are receiving adequate sunlight. Check if the battery is already fully charged.
App cannot find the device
Ensure the BT-1 Bluetooth module is firmly plugged into the RS232 port and that your smartphone Bluetooth is enabled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Installation: Decide between flush-mount (requires cutting a rectangular hole in your wall) or surface-mount using the included attachment. Always connect the battery to the controller first to initialize the system.
- Wiring: Use appropriately sized wire for the 30A load to prevent voltage drop. Connect the solar panels only after the battery connection is verified.
- Compatibility: Compatible with 12V and 24V nominal systems. Supports Sealed (AGM), Gel, Flooded, and Lithium batteries.
- Care: Keep the controller in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or areas with high humidity. Periodically check terminal screws to ensure they remain tight, especially in vibrating environments like moving RVs.
