2005 IOTA power converter

My Greyhawk has a IOTA DLS 30 power converter, original equipment, which is working. Will it work work a GSM battery?

Help appreciated.
  • GSM battery link. Just 1 of many GSM batteries. The OP stated GSM, NOT AGM. One thing I have learned over the years is to not just assume you are smarter than somebody else and try to impart your perceived superior intellect on others. Maybe the OP meant AGM NOT GSM. I doubt he meant GSM, but just asking "GSM?" was the correct NON RUDE response. Doug

  • Zzzzzzzzzz...just funnin'

    Do these manufacturers have operation manuals that can be downloaded?

    Especially with expensive batteries I always review manufacturer's preferences for changing. They TRUMP charger manufacturer recommendations.

    Temperature correct 14.4 constant voltage for absorbed glass mat batteries. It's one of the easiest specs to remember. And do not charge AGM batteries at amperages rated less than 20% of their amp hour rating unless you are starting out when they are mostly full.
  • It's a pretty short thread now, after taking out the trash.

    Let's try to play nice, folks.
  • What is a GSM battery? Photo? Link?

    Generally if you have the IOTA IQ controller it will be fine on any battery. IOTA actually has about eight different IQ controllers for different batteries or special situations.

    darn I apparently missed the bully babies, I did mean GSM, I do pro photo and use the "big mother" versions, but reading up more see it , technical term here, ain't gonna work - so I will look at AGM. Those of you being helpful, and kind, thanks.
  • If what every battery you want to install is NOT flooded lead-acid, do NOT assume your converter will do a good job unless you know how to adjust it for your chemistry !
  • Sorry "GSM big mother" has no hits for me on google. I thought a photo battery would have its own charger so maybe you need an inverter to supply power to the photo charging system.

    Does your IOTA have the IQ controller?
  • "Well it is well worth getting if you have the dual voltage jack.."

    I ordered one- thanks~
