Commonly used in RV solar systems, marine installations, remote lighting systems, cabins, telecom sites, and small off-grid renewable energy applications where reliable PWM battery charging and low-voltage disconnect protection are required. Installers and solar technicians use the C12 for battery management, lighting control, and solar charge regulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"plkbhx\" data-start=\"663\" data-end=\"682\"\u003eApplications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"683\" data-end=\"1195\"\u003eThe Xantrex C12 controller is used in off-grid solar systems where photovoltaic charging, DC load protection, and lighting automation functions are required. It is commonly applied in remote village lighting, outdoor lighting systems, RV and marine solar setups, telecommunications backup systems, and standalone battery charging systems. The controller supports photovoltaic charge control, DC load control, and dusk-to-dawn lighting functions with adjustable timing modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"68ulmp\" data-start=\"1197\" data-end=\"1228\"\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"2726\"\u003e• Manufacturer: \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eXantrex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1282\" data-end=\"1285\"\u003e• Model \/ Part Number: C12\u003cbr data-start=\"1311\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003e• Product Type: PWM Solar Charge Controller\u003cbr data-start=\"1357\" data-end=\"1360\"\u003e• Charge Current Rating: 12A at 12V systems only \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1449\"\u003e• System Voltage: 12V DC \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1511\" data-end=\"1514\"\u003e• Controller Type: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1599\" data-end=\"1602\"\u003e• Functions: Solar charging, load control, and lighting control \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1706\"\u003e• Charging Method: 3-stage charging (Bulk, Absorption, Float) \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1805\" data-end=\"1808\"\u003e• Equalization: Automatic and manual equalization support \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1903\" data-end=\"1906\"\u003e• Max PV Open Circuit Voltage: 25V official spec \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1994\" data-end=\"1997\"\u003e• Maximum DC Load: 12A with auto reset \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2075\" data-end=\"2078\"\u003e• Minimum Operating Voltage: 6V \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2149\" data-end=\"2152\"\u003e• Voltage Drop (PV to Battery): 0.3V max \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2232\" data-end=\"2235\"\u003e• Wire Size: #10 AWG stranded maximum \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2312\" data-end=\"2315\"\u003e• Enclosure: Powder-coated steel housing \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2395\" data-end=\"2398\"\u003e• Mounting: Indoor vertical wall mount \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2476\" data-end=\"2479\"\u003e• Dimensions: 6.5 × 4.3 × 1.6 in \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2551\" data-end=\"2554\"\u003e• Weight: Approx. 2.0 lb \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2618\" data-end=\"2621\"\u003e• Operating Modes: PV charging, DC load control, NITE-LITE mode \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1ln9bp8\" data-start=\"2728\" data-end=\"2754\"\u003eCommon Replacements:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2755\" data-end=\"2866\"\u003e• Xantrex C35 PWM Controller\u003cbr data-start=\"2783\" data-end=\"2786\"\u003e• Morningstar SunSaver PWM Controllers\u003cbr data-start=\"2824\" data-end=\"2827\"\u003e• Victron SmartSolar MPPT Controllers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xantrex","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51733652865326,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_552b3ffc-d933-4b60-81b8-b8e397f73a68.jpg?v=1770603276","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/xantrex-technology-c12-pwm-solar-charge-controller","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
