Hi, The charge controller we use is Morningstar sunsaver charge controller. They have been very reliable.

Any universal charger works, especially since these don't need to be refreshed as they have no "memory." You might as well go with a cheap one or one you already have. I use two different ones, a RadioShack universal & an Energizer NiMH. Good luck.

This is one I found and it lists the Blade CX as one of the connector types it supports. I bought more batteries for mine (4) and that works for me. The chargers are a bit on the expensive side. If I had several RC toys it might then become feasible.Link: http://4port.us/products/wysiwyg-1/Hope that helps.

I use Deltran Battery Tender (021-0128) 1.25 Amp Battery Charger and it works quite well

I know what you mean. The La Crosse chargers (BC-700, 1000, etc) all have problem detecting over-discharged batteries with terminal voltage below 0.5V. The BQ-CC17, however, has no such limitation. I have tested batteries with nearly 0V left, and the BQ-CC17 can still detect it and charge it up.

I am using it on My XTi, which uses teh same battery pack. It works like a champ and lasts longer before recharging.

Looks like your covered. Link from the Xtar site. The third photo shows compatible battery sizes, and the 18350 is listed. I've also read on forums that you may need to use spacers to make the battery fit more snugly in the charger, and Xtar has those available as well. See following links. http://www.xtarlight.com/05-chanpin/p-001-1.asp?styleid=233&style;=Charger%20Series & http://altsmoke.com/xtar-battery-spacer.html

The Xanteax C60 Charge Controller will work with either wind or solar but not both. However, you can still charge the same battery bank with wind on one controller and solar on another controller. The issue is will you have too much voltage at the same time on a windy and sunny day. If so, you will need a dump load diversion such as a heating coil, to handle the excess.

i use a Super Universal NI-MH LCD battery charger. Model: V-9688. now that being said, i didn't have very good luck with those batteries. eight of forty failed after just 2 charges.

I don't know if this helps - I have the xg 6500 (generac) and the charger works fine BUT I learned that my real problem was a battery that would no longer take a charge-

You can use any kind really. I started with with a PWM charge controller, but now have an MPPT charge controller. The Morningstar SunSaver MPPT charge controller is nice, but in general MPPT charge controllers cost more money.

Here is a link to a .pdf copy of the manual that comes with the unit:http://www.postpeakliving.com/downloads/Duracell-Powerpack600-OwnersGuide.pdfsee page 31 of the manual (page 42 of the .pdf file) for the manufacturer's instructions on how to connect to a solar panel. It does not mention the need for an external charge controller. I believe all of the charge controlling for this unit is handled by an internal component.

For my APC XS1500 I actually used these: 12V 9Ah BATTERY REPL. FOR APC BACK-UPS XS1000,RBC32,33 - They are the UB1290. IF you check the voltage and amp hours, the CP1290a and the UB1290 look very similar, so I'm guessing either will work. Just remember that the APC unit takes 2 of these batteries.

I don't know about that. I bought it replace the battery in my APC XS 1500 backup. I'd check the tech notes. I haven't had any issues after install on this model. It works perfectly.

The brand does not matter. As long as the battery is of the right chemistry (NiMH or NiCd) the BQ-CC17 will charge it correctly.

For one panel I use a 7 amp in line charge controller.The Sun Force 7 amp controller, which is available on Amazon for $14.01, has worked well for me.It also contains a diode to prevent the battery from discharging at night.The max output of the panel is about 3 amps.
