This article is the companion for the low voltage disconnect circuit in HP #60. This circuit regulates the charging of the battery in a solar system by monitoring battery voltage and switching the solar or other power source off when the battery reaches a preset voltage. A charge controller circuit can increase battery life by preventing over-charging which can cause loss of electrolyte.
