  • Their disclaimer.

    • These are used units in good condition.

    Remember, ANY Iota over 75 amp requires a 20 amp 120 circuit. The REAL new Iota has the male plug on the end. The pic shows a installed and pulled Iota. AND the original NEW Iota has the 20 amp(offset pins) male plug that plugs into a 20 amp wall receptacle. These have been pulled from some RV's, maybe from flood damaged RV's and were surplused out.

    Not exactly what I have here but pair one of those with a few hundred amp horus (Let's see 75 amps needs over 225 amp hours (one pair GC-2 (Deka G-30 I think)

    I'd go at least 2 pair and you have a real nice power storage system for running 2w-way radios and perhaps even (Via an inverter) your fridge when the lights go out in .... your town.

    (My system is a Xantrec 80 amp charger / 2000 watt inverter.. I need to put in new batteries however).

    I have bought stuff from them lots of times over the yrs. Never once got junk, was as advertised.

    I posted the 90A one sometime ago when they first got it in.

    They have also had 30A and 55A units in the past for better prices.

    I believe from the ads on the 30 and 55A units they mentioned that they are "working pulls" from equipment that never was sold or used. In other words, they were prepped (plug cut off and 1/4" QC terminations added) and installed in some sort of equipment that for some reason the manufacturer decided to not sell and scrapped out all inventory, selling off what they can to recoup money. Because the plugs were cut off and no original boxes and packaging they cannot be sold as new.

    Would make a killer 12V power supply for HAM equipment for the current capacity and price.. I should have grabbed a couple of the 30A or 55A versions as they were much cheaper than $125.. Heck a 13.8V 75A MFJ will set you back about $350.
