Solar charge controllers can be classified into two main types: pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controllers. Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) PWM solar ...

A solar charge controller smooths out that variability so that batteries receive power at a constant and safe rate. It also sends a “trickle charge” when the battery is nearly full.

The charge controller is a 400W MPPT unit that can be programmed to the correct output voltage (in this case 54.6V for a 48V 13s e-bike battery). I got mine for about $75 from Grin Technology in ...
