A few months back when I was on an old webtv unit I located a charge controller that had conections for windmill,solarpanel and the dump load could be a car ceramic car heater,it had conections fot the car heater fan.I don't think it had a case just a circuit board.
When I changed over to a laptop I failed to keep the web site to it.I have spent hours trying to find it again with no luck.
Has Anyone here ever seen it?

Nope,none of them.It wasen't a kit,but a wired circuit board.You only needed a box to put it in and add your solar panel and windmill outputs.It had an outlet for adding a 200 watt ceramic car heater fan and another for the heater element.
I made a copy of board with two methods of hooking it up.

In case I never find it again,can anyone recomend controller that is prewired for wind and solar thats not too expensive.
Anyone know anything about the Gudcraft CD2.5 controller good or bad?I was hoping for something a little cheaper.I'm only running 90 watts solar and less than 125 watts windmill
