Free charge controller
By mettleramiel, Section Classifieds Posted on Sun Apr 27th, 2008 at 12:41:06 AM MST
Not working, though.

I have this charge controller that doesn't seem to work any more. All was well until on day last week when it was letting all the power from the panels go into the batteries after they were full. Now it simply reads the battery voltage but doesn't let any current through. I needed a new controller that I could use with gel batteries anyway, so instead of trying to fix it myself, I'm offering it to anyone who might be interested. All you have to send me is the shipping and a smile. Here's some pics for ya. Blurry, I know, my camera is terrible when it comes to close-ups.

You can't see it in the pics, but it looks like one of the FETS has blown, so it may be a quick and easy fix.

I would be interested in it, even if it wasn't fixable I'm sure there may be some parts worth scrounging for.

Where are you located?
