BRAVO Waterproof 8 | 8 Amp Waterproof PWM Solar Charge Controller

Equipment Type and Primary Applications

The BRAVO Waterproof 8 is an 8 amp PWM solar charge controller for 12V battery systems and outdoor solar charging installations. It supports Flooded (WET), AGM, GEL, and LiFePO₄ batteries, with battery selection through a built-in DIP switch. Common positive grounding makes it suitable for compatible positive-ground systems.

Performance Specifications

  • Rated solar charging current: maximum 8A.
  • Normal solar input: 15–22VDC; maximum open-circuit solar input: 25VDC.
  • Lowest operating voltage: 9VDC at the solar or battery side.
  • Maximum solar-to-battery voltage drop: 0.25VDC.
  • Standby consumption at night: 2mA.
  • Charging stages: soft start at 3–10VDC ±0.2V, bulk charge at 10–14VDC ±0.2V, and equalization at 15.5VDC ±0.2V.
  • Equalization timer: 2 hours; temperature compensation: -24mV/°C from -4°F to 122°F.
  • Operating temperature: -25–50°C (-13–122°F); storage temperature: -40–85°C (-40–185°F).
  • Operating humidity: up to 100%, non-condensing.

Safety Features and Certifications

IP65 housing, conformal-coated circuit board, spark-free battery connection, reverse-polarity, short-circuit, over-voltage, over-temperature, and thermal protection. Charging over-temperature protection activates at 149°F. CE, EMC, and FCC compliant.

Installation and Maintenance Requirements

Mount vertically on a flat surface using the supplied three plastic spacers and self-tapping screws. M4 terminals accept stranded wire up to #12 AWG (3mm²). Configure battery type with the DIP switch before operation.
