Thanks
– where do you get it, and does it have a low-voltage
disconnect?

Check
out the BZ-240 charge controller from Solatron Technologies. I use that and it
has worked wonderfully
cheers,

Clarification
– that is .37 amps EACH.
By the
way, I am planning on using Kyocera 60W PV panels (40W is really good enough
for my sun, but the KC-60 has a better form factor for my
application).
If you
find a good source of low cost charge controllers for your application, please
let me know. I am using spare Trace C40’s for this one, but would like to know
for the future.

I just
tested a couple of AP Totals and they were drawing .37 Amps at 14.1 Volts. I
found them more power efficient than expected, and calculated that a single
12V, 80aH battery would be more than enough to handle a few days of cloudiness
and keep the depth-of-discharge to under 50%. You can look at the Concord
PVX-690T AGM for about $120 or you can get a 12V lead-acid for under
$70.

For those of us
who're going to be using these on battery power (solar charged), actual
current figures would be REALLY helpful.
Thanks
