A US company called Genasun makes several models of MPPT charge 
controllers that are RF quiet. I use two in my shack, and W6GJB has two 
in his contesting trailer that we use for CQP, 7QP, and Field Day.  They 
make different models for lead-acid, lithium, and lithium-ferrous 
phosphate batteries, and with several different current and voltage 
ratings.
