Charging a Battery Bank
I am planning on upgrading my batteries to 4 6v batteries wired in series and parallel to have a 12v system with plenty of Amp Hours. There is a ton of information on how to wire things up but nothing...

The 4400s were a prototype for the 5400s, which are expensive for sure. You had to get the TC attachment or else the unit was a single voltage at 13.6ish, same as the old Parallax units like the 7300s.
Ah Ha ... so the 5400 series is more recent? One thing I noticed about the Parallax 5400 Series that some may not care for is that the cooling fan runs constantly whereas the Parallax 4400 Series cooling fan only runs when necessary. The largest in the 5400 series, the 5490(TC) also requires a 20 amp feed circuit. I also notice the 5400 series features what Parallax calls "active power factor correction" - not sure what that is but it sounds good! :p
