Bad Converter Charger

I could call Randy at Best Converter.
Best Converter

Finally Got a hold of him & he said "I'll call you back" & never heard back from him Yesterday. Called back today & he said sorry. Not a problem w/that but it was the fact that I proceeded to ask questions about the product he's selling & the main response was "Something like that". He said "you can get the whole replacement unit for $8 more dollars ready to go" but when I questioned him about the breakers that were listed as an extra $33 he said "we don't know what size breakers you need" When I asked if a WHOLE new replacement would work w/my old breakers He said "These Converter/chargers will fit any breakers". My response was that I've learned to Use the correct breakers w/the correct box for safety. Then he said "Why don't you just go w/the lower replacement 45a so you can use your existing breakers" He had no 35a but said he did have 45a version ready to go. After his push for the 45a to sell me & gave him card details for payment. Afterword's I asked about shipment time. He stated "These 45a will be here in a day or two"...Wait, What, You just told me they were ready to ship.

I just had a bad taste of pushy sales & none of my questions answered about the products. It was like him wanting to sell me something w/no effort on his part except to upsell or push what he had "Sold the most of". I called back 5 min later to cancel!

Thanks for the suggestion though...I tried.

Errin didn't answer so I called the main number & spoke to Graham as I've done a few times in the past & have no complaints on any interaction. He did say they only have 100a units available. The ship is in delay from China I suppose & has taken some time. They don't expect to have any back in stock until after the 4th of July. I'm going to go w/their 15a version as my 2 batteries have a 30a max 60a total charge limit. I will be getting about 45a through solar on the sunny days & when running the generator or shore it will kick on the 15a charger=60Amps total I don't want to fry these batteries they aren't cheap. Thanks for all the help here & I'll update this thread w/my results after getting the PowerMax.
