I just bought this kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Complete-Kit...item41709288fb
VMP on these panels is 18.9V, a bit high for 12V with a PWM charger - I'll actually get only 14.4V (bulk voltage mode) * 5.3 amps * 2 panels = 153 watts, minus battery cable losses too. But I "Sniped" it at a pretty deep discount.

With only 10.6 Amps at the best of times, it doesn't make a lot of sense to invest in exceptional batteries either - and they could be stolen of the forward, unenclosed frame mount of the 2619 anyway. I'll just buy a pair of el-cheapo WalMart "24DC" Everstart Marine batteries.

Any suggestions, where to mount the PWM charge controller controller for a 2619 front shell installation?
