If that isn't important to you than save the money and buy the Wanderer. Overall I am happy with the Wanderer but considering my that I now wanted a controller that actually shows the amps being produced and used I maybe should have ordered a controller like the one I have at my house. The third light is either Green for a sealed battery, Orange for a Gel battery or Red for a flooded battery. ![]() The "BATT" light shows green when the Batterys are in good shape. One for the "PV" which is a green light that shows brighter when receiving full sun. The front of the Wanderer has three different lights. I have since ordered (and yet to install) a Tenergy Watt meter that will give me the display that I want. The Wanderer is about half the money and doesn't have this type of LCD display. I currently also have a small house independent emergency system using two 100 watt Renog y panels and a controller that actually shows the amount of amps being made and being used at current time and over periods of time which I really like. I called Renogy (always very good to get onto the phone with) and I was instructed to use a slightly different way to change the type of batteries and it worked. After hooking it up I had trouble getting the "battery type" light to go to red indicating a flooded battery. This is fine with me as I come straight out of the controller directly to the battery and would not have used a controller with "load" terminals. It is pretty straight forward to install noting that it does not have "load" terminals. The prior controller wasn't rated high enough in amps so I decided to go with the Renogy Wanderer. Before using Wanderer to charge other types of lithium battery, set the parameters according to the suggestions from battery manufacturer.I recently upgraded my solar panel on my sailboat from a 20watt to a Renogy 100 watt panel.
