Ok setting up the paypal account for the Meanwell se-600-15. Promise exquisitely detailed photos of internals and performance capabilities
:)
2 year warranty is inspiring
13.5v minimum is too high a float for my flooded 31 though, but probably won't make much difference in my intended usage.
Will be taking donations for another Northstar AGM too, A group 31 this time, and I promise to hammer it under discharge and feed it 40 amps every recharge.
All kidding aside, I'd spend the extra for the MeanWell se-600-15 over the megawatt. and am hovering over the click order button now.
But I really want to try and see if I can get the cheapowatt operational again.
Just don't know which part to order to try.
I've a couple ideas for sandwiching these transistors in heatsinks. Basically getting a new wider Flat bar which pulls them tight to the existng aluminum plate, tapping threads through it and sticking some of these on it. This way the transistor will have its heatsuckedout on both sides

One question is, is is possible I compromised the transistors by torquing the existing flat bar too much? I did use a considerable sum with my popeye esque forearms.
Overkill.
