What's in the 100A version?
Added 2025-06-23 02:48:30 +0000 UTCI got one of the 100A versions of the solar charge controllers to compare the circuitry to the original 10A one. You can have a guess at what differences there might be inside.
I also took the opportunity to add notes about comments from the previous charger video.
It appears people have been trying to use them at high current and had bad experiences.

I didn't check the value of the components, and I've justy reassembled the units and stuck them into storage. But going by the track alone I'd not really trust it for anything near 10A.
