Go Power

<h3>Go Power: Three Decades of Off-Grid Power Innovation</h3><p>Few brands can claim to have shaped an entire category the way Go Power has shaped mobile solar power. <strong>Founded in 1996 in Victoria, British Columbia</strong>, Go Power started as a small Canadian distributor of solar energy products and has since grown into one of North America's leading suppliers of recreational and commercial solar solutions. Now operating as part of the Dometic Group, Go Power brings the resources of a global outdoor lifestyle company to bear on a singular mission: keeping adventurers, mariners, and fleet operators powered wherever the grid cannot reach.</p><h3>Built for RV, Marine, Fleet &amp; Overlanding Life</h3><p>Go Power's product philosophy is rooted in versatility and reliability. Whether you're a full-time RVer dry-camping in a remote canyon, a boater planning an extended offshore cruise, or a fleet manager looking to reduce generator fuel costs, Go Power offers a complete ecosystem of mobile power hardware designed to work together seamlessly. Their systems are pre-installed by major RV manufacturers including Jayco, Forest River, and Tiffin — a testament to the brand's reputation for durability and ease of integration.</p><p>The product lineup spans solar panels (rigid, flexible, and portable), AGM and lithium batteries, solar charge controllers, transfer switches, battery chargers, and — at the heart of many complete systems — <a href="/11123-go-power-power-inverter-14297">power inverters</a>. These components are engineered to work as an integrated whole, with Go Power's proprietary PowerTrak&trade; technology optimizing power flow and efficiency across compatible devices in a single, connected system.</p><h3>Pure Sine Wave Power Where It Counts</h3><p>A critical piece of any off-grid setup is the ability to convert DC battery power into clean, usable AC electricity. Go Power's <a href="/11123-go-power-power-inverter-14297">power inverter</a> lineup — including Smart Sine Wave, Advanced Sine Wave, and Inverter Charger models — delivers pure sine wave output that is safe for sensitive electronics like laptops, medical devices, and modern appliances. Many models feature built-in transfer switches, mobile app connectivity, and multistage charging capability, making them well-suited to both entry-level RVers and seasoned off-grid enthusiasts who demand reliable, intelligent power management.</p><h3>Award-Winning Recognition</h3><p>Go Power's commitment to quality has earned consistent industry recognition. The brand has secured gold-level honors in RV Magazine's Readers' Choice Awards and has been celebrated for providing reliable off-grid power that enhances the mobile lifestyle. With products available at over 700 locations across North America and backed by industry-leading warranties, Go Power remains the benchmark for mobile solar solutions.</p>

Product Details

The Go Power 83838 is a 30 amp MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar charge controller designed for 12-volt off-grid photovoltaic systems in RVs, marine vessels, and mobile applications. This advanced dual bank controller regulates current flow from solar panels to your batteries while preventing harmful overcharging to extend battery life.

MPPT Technology for Maximum Efficiency:

  • MPPT charging technology provides up to 98% efficiency, harvesting up to 30% more power than traditional PWM controllers
  • Continuously monitors solar panel output and tracks the maximum power point to optimize charging in all sun and tilt conditions
  • Ideal for series wiring configurations and maximizes power from your solar array

Dual Bank Charging Capability:

  • Features two independent battery outputs (BAT1 and BAT2) for managing multiple battery banks
  • Prioritizes BAT1 (house battery) at all times to ensure maximum charge, then diverts excess power to BAT2
  • Perfect for motorized RVs with both house and chassis battery systems

Universal Battery Compatibility:

  • Compatible with all battery types including Lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, Gel, and Flooded Lead Acid
  • Multiple battery charging profiles with 4-stage charging: Bulk, Absorption, Float, and Equalize
  • Temperature compensation automatically adjusts charge parameters to improve battery life
  • Lithium battery reset capability allows automatic recovery of BMS-protected over-discharged batteries

Advanced Protection Features:

  • Comprehensive electronic fault self-detection prevents component damage from installation errors
  • Current-limited charging mode prevents overcharging when solar panel power exceeds rated capacity
  • LED fault indicators display abnormal information for quick system troubleshooting
  • Over-temperature protection safeguards controller and batteries

Smart System Integration:

  • RV-C communication capability integrates seamlessly with modern "smart RV" onboard systems
  • Optional Bluetooth-enabled remote display (sold separately) for wireless monitoring
  • Compatible with Go Power Connect app for remote system monitoring and control
  • Stackable design allows adding additional controllers to expand your solar array capacity

This solar charge controller is an essential component of any photovoltaic system, protecting your investment by maintaining optimal battery health and maximizing solar energy harvest. The controller is designed for flush or surface mounting in protected indoor locations, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
