I was recently asked whether a charge controller consumes power and if it does, how much does it consume?
Well yes, your charge controller will consume a small amount of power. It will vary between different solar/wind controllers.
My CDRKING branded (generic chinese) solar charge controller consumes 0.1 – 0.2 watts at any given time. This isn’t a large amount of power but it could add up for those who have smaller panels and smaller batteries.
The battery in this video is a 40Ah motolite solar master, a deep cycle battery suitable for solar applications.
