Ellen: Hey everyone, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. And we're going to be taking a quick look at the Bluetooth Dongle for your Go Power MPPT Solar Controller. This allows you to use a app from Go Power to adjust your MPPT solar charger or solar controller. So it makes it pretty easy and pretty technology savvy to be able to do that allows you to Mount this somewhere that you can get the range. So especially nice for those times when you can't really mount that main unit in an area that you can get to very easily. So you can just use your phone or your tablet to make those adjustments.
Now, this does connect directly to that controller unit to give you that Bluetooth signal, and then you have to download the app on your smartphone or your tablet. Works with both Apple and Android applications, so no problems there.As far as the compatibility, we do have the specs listed on our product page here at etrailer.com. So if you have an older phone or an older operating system, you can check to see what the cutoff is for that. Now I will say they've been having some trouble with that app. A lot of customers have complained that it works great for a little while, and now it's not usable at all.
And so I would personally suggest not even going with this guy, but actually getting the remote. Which is going to be a hardwired system that connects to the unit in the exact same way, uses the same cable. It's just going to have a dedicated box where you're going to make those adjustments. They are different part numbers. The part number for this one is going to be listed there on the screen.So if you want to pick that one up instead, I would highly suggest that.
So you're just not having to mess with that Bluetooth app. Once they get this going and maybe perfect some of the bugs, we'll update you, but I would say for now, this is going to be the safer bet. It's one less thing you have to have downloaded on your phone. Which for me, is always a big thing, I always have too much music or too many podcasts to have another app that I don't really need. So that's one thing that I would definitely suggest, it's going to do the same thing for you, it's just doing it in a little bit different way.
So if you do want to go with the Bluetooth, you're just dead set on it. I'm going to give you a few measurements just so you can know the kind of compatibility that this has. So the actual little guy here measures about three and five-eighths of an inch long by about two inches tall. And it's just about three quarters of an inch thick.So pretty small mounting, it's going to be about two and a quarter inch apart for those two elongated holes. The wiring itself measures about 59 inches long. So pretty close to five feet long. So you should be able to connect that just about anywhere you need to have it in a handy spot, so you can hopefully get enough signal to your phone or your tablet wherever you are. It does have a little led to let you know, whenever it's connected, should be this little light up there at the top. So has an indicator of your connection status to make it a little bit more clear what's going on with that. Well I hope this has been helpful in deciding if this is going to be the right unit for you. Again you can find this and other accessories for your RV solar system here at etrailer.com, so check those out. Thanks for watching..

It’s still performing without fail. I just need to figure out a way to keep battery bay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Any suggestions?
