For example, if I was bringing in 39-volts of power at 1 amp, a MPPT controller can convert the voltage to 13 volts which is more appropriate to charge a 12-volt battery. But because it reduced the voltage by 1\/3, it is able to triple the amp output to give me 3 amps of charge to the batteries.<\/p>\n<p>There are many MPPT charge controllers out there, one of the best is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B073ZJ3L13\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=mm-blog-20&amp;linkId=60334cbd8c3633e463f1661aa4b40bee&amp;language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100\/30 Solar Charge Controller 100V 30A with Bluetooth<\/a>. It is compact, it can take input voltage up to 100-volts and it can produce a maximum of 30 amps of charge to the batteries. The best part is that there is a built-in bluetooth module that allows me to track and monitor the condition of my electrical system using either an Android of iOS app. This eliminates the need for a separate battery monitor.<\/p>\n<p>[amazon_link asins=&#8217;B073ZJ3L13,B076N5PTBN,B071W3CR41&#8242; template=&#8217;ProductCarousel&#8217; store=&#8217;tinyliving-reviews-20&#8242; marketplace=&#8217;US&#8217; link_id=&#8217;a8e9719b-1748-4c21-b5cc-9bc4c01fa675&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A MPPT controller can take a much higher voltage input and dynamically convert it to the appropriate charging voltage by increasing the amperage output.
