Ahh, got power an internet back I see. How was Hurricane Ordeal in your location?
I think a depleted group 31 AGM could still max out two paralleled cheapowatts.
Any overload circuitry which allows me to dial in a 14.70ABSV, hook up the battery and not worry about magic smoke release, is worth the money to me. I want 36 amps until battery reaches at least 14.7v. I don't want to have to increase the voltage pot as the battery charges in a feeble attempt to keep constant current, or fight the taper. That was a PITA.
I'll add heatsinks internally/externally, fine tune the mating of heatsink to case, install a better fan, I'll add a 10 turn trim pot, but whatever I get needs to be able to do constant current at 30+ amps for 2 hours. MY cheapowatt, may it rest in peace, needed too much tweaking to hold 36 amps.
Human overload protection is not acceptable, to me.
