The charge controller actually does have an automatic shut off, but from what they say, it''s best not to hit it too hard with voltage spikes. They say over time that will shorten the life of it, so it

A blown fuse or tripped breaker can also stop charging. Sometimes, the battery may be fully charged, so the controller stops output to protect it. Inspect solar panel voltage to ensure
