[RE-wrenches] Off-grid non-inverter battery charger recommendations?

[boB]

How about an off grid inverter/charger that most
off-griders would normally have ??  Almost
any of the typical off grid I/C would do a much
better job at charging.   I would think that any
el-cheap-o 12V inverter would balk at seeing much
over 15V anyway.
