I don't see how a power supply could help you here. Your solar would be the "power supply" in this case. Or are you talking about something else?
No I messed up again, forgetting those were AC-DC.
Yes the Eco-Worthy and the others are apparently just one of these gizmos with some control buttons to do the voltage output settings and tack on the MPPT, so $100 is decent for a 20 amper. Also you get the voltage and amps read-outs for the output.
One thing with the gizmo is you could get it to stay at 14.8 the rest of the day once it got the batts there instead of dropping to float right away, where the highest Float on the Eco-W is 14.5. My T-1275s need that longer time at 14.8, but my 6s are good with the 14.5 Float.
(Next summer I won't bother to take the T-1275s along as I don't need that much battery in the summer anyway. They are very helpful for winter camping and lots of AH capacity is needed and no solar. That way in summer on solar with the four 6s and the Eco-W everything will be perfect. Learn as we go here. :) )
