Data from official source

The ECTIVE SC 40 Pro Gen. 2 is an MPPT solar charge controller for flooded, AGM, gel and LiFePO4 lithium batteries. It is controlled from a phone with the connECTIVE app over Bluetooth and also has an interactive LCD display. It logs data for up to 300 days, viewable in the app. If the BMS of a lithium battery has locked, the controller can reactivate it, provided the cells still have residual voltage. The USE mode allows a custom charging curve to be set. The controller is sold without solar cables.
