Greetings Esteemed Wrench People;

I need a 48 volt charge controller 5 amp rated or so that is under $100. 
Anyone know of such a beast. It is for a small Solar vehicle (VIPV). I 
thought I could get by without a controller, but the 1.2 amp array is 
still raising the sealed batteries to unrecommended voltages. I tried 
some resistors inline to essentially raise array voltage past its MPPT, 
but its not reliable enough for my taste. I'm going to just load a 
clunky old C-40 on board, if I can't find something better, but that is 
vast overkill, costly, and heavy too.

Thanks,

Ray Walters
