I wonder if that was one of Joe's old test units. I seem to remember seeing one sitting around his shop with a C-40 in the vicinity.
I don't know about how much of a headache it would be, absent the charge control problems with the Omnimeter that can be routed around. The unit I installed was one of the very first ones that did not have the integrated AC battery charger, it was inverter only, and I got a separate charge unit from Vanner to connect to it to handle generator input. This thing won't be current, likely not at all what most wrenches are used to (not many people used Joe's stuff or Vanner) but the one I installed is still working, as far as I know, after 10 years.

We have almost "donated" it to projects as well, but decided it would be long term headache. I have PDFs of a lot of vanner equipt. What us model number? Btw- story goes that way back when, someone opened up one if these units and inside was a trace c-40!
