A very smooth and creamy blend Robert. The Dundalgan Irish cream might be slightly more bitter than Baileys, if that's what you are accustomed to, but overall it stands up well. And at that price you can't go wrong.

Sorry . . . what was the question again?

You would probably be better off changing it (the controller not the drink 😃 ) and get a modern mppt one, more output and info

You could just buy a meter that would give you the amperage, and one for voltage... but tbh it would probably be as cheap to change the controller. You will get a decent one to do that, mppt for about €70-80
