Is there a recommended charge controller that is a good match for this unit?

Our C60 PWM charge controller works nicely with this turbine. You can search for: 60 Amp Solid State PWM Charge Controller for Wind Turbine Generators and Solar Panels or use this URL: 60 Amp Solid State PWM Charge Controller for Wind Turbine Generators and Solar Panels

I use a charge controller to even out the incoming voltage so that there are no spikes

I use a smart charger made by Powerex. It's a Wizard One. I've used it on many brands with no issues. I've owned it for several years. It has four slots that can be programmed individually. I'm pleased with it.

I have not noticed a problem with the charge controller. Inverters WILL generate hash, but only in a few places. I have noticed it in the 40-meter ham band.

You need a charge controller pretty much for any solar panel over 10 watts. I like the ones that have a digital voltage meter and built in float mode. Lots of choices for controllers in the $20 range Panel has held up well so far on my sailboat.

I currently use this charger and it works fine.One caveat is that the controller(2002 Club) I have over timedegraded to cause the charger to not work. I ordered a secondcharger and when I received it had no output when hooked tothe cart. After some surfingand a call to the MFR I figured it was the cart controller sensingthe charge voltage and shutting off the charger. After I bypassed thecart controller so the charger fed the batteries directly all was fine.So now I have have two chargers........they work fine.By the way the MFR was very nice to discuss my issue withme and was very satisfied. Good luck. I currently use this charger and it works fine.One caveat is that the controller(2002 Club) I have over timedegraded to cause the charger to not work.

Not exactly it does not have a charge controller. You will need one. It had a cigaret female plug. You can adapt to that. I use to charge batteries for my ham radio equipment. You might look at the deltran solar charger. They go buy battery tender.

Yes, use the charge controller and configure according to the directions that come with it. I got the 30 amp one.

These charge controllers are made to support sealed lead acid batteries and flooded wet cell batteries. The charging parameters cannot be adjusted. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Kind Regards, AW

The HQRP charge controller will work with your 100 watt panel. Whether or not your entire "system" is right for your needs depends on your loads. If you plan on running a fridge, TV, radio, lots of lights, electric heater, etc., it ain't gonna happen.

You can find adapters that will take C/D sizes that snaps into a AA/AAA slot of the Wizard One and similar chargers (the one I found was for Tenergy of something but it fit well enough); that way you can use all the modes of the Wizard One...esp checking the capacity...not to mention ability to use up to 2000mA (2 amps) charging rate.... otherwise you are usually limited to blind charging...you do loose contact with the temperature sensor, however normally not an issue.

Yes, but I would recommend changing the charge controller if leaving it unattended - only because it looks so small and flimsy with tiny wires, and mine only worked sporadically. I would pay $8 for a sunforce 7A charge controller - these seem to be the best value Ive found. I have several of them between solarpanels and car batteries in different applications and they work great and are efficient e.g. I leave one charging 4 car batteries on my boat 24/7. example...http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=controllers+sunforce

According to the directions you do not need a charge controller for a 30w panel on this unit. Larger panels would require a charge controller.

If you are living in a RV, spend the extra money and get a MPPT charge controller. I found a cheap priced one made by Tracer. They make a 10, 20, 30, and 40 amp. They are a lot more efficient than a PWM controller.

Look into purchasing a Regulated Universal AC to DC Converter with Multiple Connector Ends in Amazon. You can use this for more than just powering this scanner and are really quite useful.

Did you try Bissell's website, I would start there. Radio Shack also has some universal chargers, it would just be a matter of getting the correct one with the right voltage.

I brought a NOCO GC026 flex regulator that prevents overcharging. Fits right between the battery connector cable and the panel cable.
