22. Control method PWM pulse-duration modulation charge mode Ok.. you have a square wave doing the charging. This puppy is going to be VERY noisy electrically. Probably good for lead-acid flavored batteries, but not for the new lighter varieties.

This item showed up on Rakuten's website (formerly Buy.com). A 30 amp solar charger for about $20.00! Here's a link: http://patazon.shop.rakuten.com/p/patazon-30a-solar-panel-power-battery-charge-controller-regulator-12v/264381220.html?scid=em_Promotional_20140909DAILY&adid=17653 I'm not familiar with the product, but it seems to be something that could be useful for those of us who like/want to do solar panel charging from time to time. I have a couple of different sets of solar panels--one set I keep in my motorhome, and the other is at home. Since I only have one controller, this might be a good opportunity to eliminate the need for carrying the one controller back and forth. I'm curious, though, if anyone else has ever seen/used this particular controller, or one from the same manufacturer. More and more I hear about others who have gone to solar charging, and I have lots of opportunities to do the same. Dry camping is something I do a good bit of, and keeping the rigs running on battery power usually means needing a generator along. If I'm running QRP it isn't a big deal, but if I want to run a bit higher power, then battery consumption gets to be an issue. Anyway, I thought I'd pass this on in case anyone else might find it to be of interest.
