It takes the proven GV-5 MPPT controller platform and packages it as a plug-in PCB module with a 24-pin shrouded header, making it well suited to solar-powered products where space, low standby consumption and repeatable integration matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis GV-5-MOD lead-acid version is intended for 12V lead-acid, AGM, gel, sealed and flooded batteries. It supports up to 65W of recommended panel power, 5A rated battery output current and a continuous 5A load output with low voltage disconnect. For applications such as environmental monitoring, small off-grid instruments, kiosks, asset tracking equipment, pay stations, compact portable power products and remote electronics, it provides efficient solar charging without the bulk of a cased regulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose this MPPT module?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenasun’s MPPT tracking is designed to keep working effectively in changing solar conditions. The manufacturer specifies 99+% typical tracking efficiency, a 15Hz MPPT tracking speed and 94% to 99.85% typical electrical efficiency. That makes the GV-5-MOD a strong fit where every watt-hour from a small panel counts, especially in partially shaded or variable-light installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12V lead-acid charging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for 12V lead-acid, AGM, gel, sealed and flooded battery systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5A solar charging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated for 5A battery output current with up to 65W recommended panel power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlug-in module format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses a 24-pin dual-row shrouded, polarised male header for direct PCB or cable integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad output with LVD:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports a continuous 5A load output with low voltage disconnect and reconnect behaviour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow power draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufacturer specifies 0.150mA operating consumption and 0.125mA night consumption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact PCB design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Product dimensions are approximately 83.2 x 47.8 x 12.2mm, with an approximate product weight of 28g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for embedded solar products\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GV-5-MOD is not a conventional wall-mount regulator. It is intended to be integrated into a host product or enclosure, with electrical connections made through the header pins. The module includes internal LED indicators, plus outputs for external status LEDs and a charge profile select input. For product designers and system builders, this helps reduce wiring, simplify assembly and keep the solar charging section compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lead-acid model provides a multi-stage charge profile, with default and secondary charge profile values published by the manufacturer. The default profile is suitable for gel and SLA batteries, while the secondary profile is listed for AGM and flooded batteries. Battery specifications should be checked against the published voltage setpoints before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe official manual states that the GV-5-MOD does not include a fuse, so suitable overcurrent protection must be provided as part of the installation. The battery cable should be protected by a fast-acting fuse or circuit breaker of 10A or less, close to the battery terminal or power distribution point. The manual also notes that the module should not be exposed to water and should be installed with adequate airflow, with outdoor use requiring a protective enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor compact 12V lead-acid solar products that need efficient charging, very low standby draw and PCB-level integration, the Genasun GV-5-MOD-Pb provides a clean, professional MPPT charging solution ready to build into a well-designed system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genasun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47412920451221,"sku":"GV-5-MOD-Pb","price":129.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/8974\/5557\/files\/vertical-1_fa597b35-e44b-47b2-87c6-441c85358cc0.webp?v=1780668091","url":"https:\/\/www.exotronic.com.au\/products\/genasun-12v-5a-lead-acid-mppt-charge-controller-pcb-for-oem","provider":"Exotronic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
