Hi Drake (et alia) An quality inverter/charger would work for half of our situations. The other half is that we do capacity recovery of AGM and flooded batteries. For that I need unregulated or controllable voltage and manual current limiting.

After a long search of the available industrial chargers, we added another SW4024. The system had certain heavy surge loads, which we put on a special panel powered by the third inverter. For the money, I think another inverter is the best bet. Maybe Chinese imports may change the situation, but if you want to stay away from them, another inverter would likely still be your most economical choice.

Most of what I am finding is in India, China or Germany but I would like something a little closer to home. I am looking for these features: a.. automatic 3 stage charging selectable for 6 or 12 volt AGM, flooded or GEL b.. manual adjustable voltage control up to 20+ Vdc c.. manual adjustable current limiter 1 to 50+ amps d.. adjustable timer shut off Thanks, Larry Crutcher General Manager Starlight Solar Power Systems 11881 S Fortuna Road, #210 Yuma, AZ 85367 Phone (928) 342-9103 powered by S TARLIGHTT _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
