I've got the 20A one from Maplins at the moment. £22 Job.
It works OK but voltage a bit high in bright sun (15v) It has worked well for a year, but adding another panel I think I need a better controller.

Mine just arrived today. Took a week to ship from China. I'll give you all an update and photos and review when it's installed.

It's in now and so far so good, it seems to be working well. It gives information on charging current and exact voltage which is good.
I notice there is an ethernet connection port. Is this for a remote viewing/control panel? My controller is in the garage to minimise charging cable runs, but I would put a remote panel on the main control panel in the living area if one were available.

No temperature sensor, bulk charge only 14.4v and float only 13.4v and as for mppt on an 80w panel, well if you re lucky it might just make you a couple of watts but the mppt function doesnt work when on float... costs 4 times the price of one that will cope fine and charge hab and cab (with temp sensor) and its only advantage is being able to use a higher voltage panel.

Nobody seems to be able to answer the question about the ethernet port. I think I am going email the seller.
