I got the 020s today and installed one in the newer 100amper that would not go at all with its broken thermistor (the big 025 whatever)
The unit started up ok and on no load bench test it did proper output voltages as set by the external voltage pot knob.
I managed to break the voltage pot wire going from the the lid to the board, so now I have to repair that, but the main thing is it worked! :)
So now I have to replace the broken 020 in the other 100amper, and I should have two working units. :) I have two more 020s for next time (I hope there isn't a next time of course)
I won't have a chance to test them on battery loads for a while, but there is no reason to suspect they won't work same as the one did the other day even with a broken 020.
Thanks everyone very, very much. I would not have been able to get this done without all the help, and perhaps some other folks found the thread of interest too. Saved again by the Forum! :)
