I imagine they are solar charge controllers. Diversion charge 
controllers as used on wind and hydro systems do not have access to 
the battery current to measure it. I am not sure how the solar ones 
can 'know' the battery charge current without knowing the load 
current (to inverter) but maybe there is a controller with an 
external shunt or something?  I'd like to hear about that.

thanks for any further pointers...
