I'm not sure what MPPT version is...email me at idanno@verizon.net Eric. Why so cheap...I have a ton of sailing stuff and I want to get rid of all of it.I have lines,blocks, stainless, you name it...sold my 43' Beneteau and kept the spare parts from 35 years of sailing. If you want stuff let me know.

I am interested also, but when I google this model, I see a list price of $175, and it does not appear to be MPPT. A list price of $175 probably means no MPPT, but the $399 list price you are quoting would imply MPPT.

Are you sure you are giving us the correct model number?

It is a TS 45. I have had it for a few years when I was unhappy with the performance of the controller on my boat. It was never installed since I decided to sell the boat soon after i got it. I just called the manufacturer and my controller is not MPPT. However, as the engineer told me, there are features that this model has that the MPPT does not have such as: Load control and Diversion charge control. As for the the list price I quoted, I did it in good faith and if I was mistaken I apologize. Make me an offer on this controller.
