I want to build a charge controller. We'll see if I get it built or if I go to Ebay first.
I did some digging for you (and me). I ended up finding this. Doesn't get much cheaper than this. ~$15 for the kit shipped. It also is a dump load charge controller, so you could say... power your fan if your battery gets fully charged ah-la Prius III. That would be pretty sweet.
