If you're using the car alternatorless regularly, you probably won't need a charge controller with a small (<= 15w) panel. (But I assume you're going to monitor voltage).
Interesting: the Metro computer doesn't seem to care about system voltage - no dummy light (not counting the alt light), even if it gets really low (like low 11v range).
However it is smart enough to shut off the DRL's when it detects the alternator not charging.
