Thanks for all the information-and various points of view. This has been very helpful. I have a couple general questions about controllers raised by this thread. Hopefully someone has a link or quick answer..
1. Several mentioned the controller clipping when fed above rated wattage. I'm familiar with audio amplifier clipping-and I assume controller is some kind of switching power supply. What is going on when the controller is clipping? The pulses can only be to a certain level?
2. When the batteries are fully charged what is the mechanism for the controller to back off the charging? I would assume it not shunt the excess power into heat.
Thanks again..
