WOW that IOTA is a deal. I grabbed 1 to replace my WFCO junk. 30A is all I need.
The IQ4 upgrade is $20 on Amazon
Thanks for sharing
There was an Iota about 12 years ago ( ISTR it was in Jaycos) that did not have the jack hole (whatever that is called) for the IQ4 (which used/uses the same jack hole for the booster jack they had.)
So be sure this one has the place to plug in the jack if you want an IQ4 to go with it. They have a new range of IQ4s now, for different charging profiles you can choose from.
Data sheet for this model
HERE says it has the jack..
From the data sheet..
"Dual Voltage jack allows for manual selection
between Normal and Absorption Phase
charging as well as easy installation of the
IQ4 Smart Charge Controller
Can be used with the optional IQ Smart Charge
Controller for automatic multi-stage charging to
prevent battery sulfation and stratification"
And directly from Goldmines own page..
"Note: This unit is not a smart charger without the purchase of an optional IQ-4 Smart Controllers."So, from everything I can tell, it will accept the IQ-4..
Although you are welcome to contact the vendor to confirm before ordering..
Actually was considering buying one myself, would make a real nice power supply for my Ham equipment plus the bonus of multi stage charging if I add a battery for backup purposes.. Dedicated 30A 12V power supplies do not come cheap..
