Wild guess: the cost is in the MPPT technology, not the ability to handle more amps, thus it added very little cost to make one unit capable up to 25A, so why bother selling a unit that is just $25 cheaper? Just a guess.
Thanks brett13. That sounds very reasonable.
There may be another reason for me wanting to get a higher cost MPPT unit.
Go to this link to the owners manual for the MorningStar SS-MPPT-15L (15 amp): http://www.morningst...T.IOM.EN.02.pdf
Scroll down to section 7 (page 37) where it discusses the different set points for the various battery types. This controller can be tuned for one of four different battery types 1) Gel, 2) sealed, 3) AGM and 4) Flooded.
Most of the other ones out there only have two types, Flooded and Sealed.
I happen to have an AGM battery and would like to have the charging tailored specifically for it.
Any other controllers out there that have 4 choices?
