Protection of DC circuits [RE-wrenches]

I have a question for the Wrench list. It has always been the wisdom
that I'd heard, not to put DC circuits on the array side of a battery
disconnect, because the open circuit voltage of the array could fry DC
appliances.
The question I have is: "Will a modern charge control, like a Trace
C-40, adequately protect DC loads against open circuit array voltage?"
Will an older type of charge control, such as the on-off type, protect
DC loads?
Thanks for your help.
Drake
