Manual Charging
With my Iota seemingly on the fritz, I'm thinking about replacing it with an 80A version (Model S-1200-12) of my MeanWell from http://www.12voltpowersupplies.us. I've never done a fully manual charge ...

I posted that Delta 80mm fan to show the upper end of what they can do. You will hear this fan, if it is running at full speed, from a hundred yards away. It also draws 2.3 amps at max speed, which could be amps flowing into the battery instead. The fan controller internal to the Iota might release the magic blue smoke when trying to power a 2.3 amp fan.
I'd pull the fan that came with the Iota, see if it has specs on it, if not plug in the Make and model # and try and find the specs, then find a fan which beats it by 25%, not 200%.
I am very impressed with all of Noctua's offerings, and wish they would design a multispeed 120MM fan in the 140 to 150 max CFM range.
Their one 120mm fan I put on my fridge moves 53 cfm for 0.05 amps. It replaced a 72cfm fan which draws 0.12 amps, and when pushing air against the condenser resistance, decreased fridge duty cycle, made a lot less noise doing so, and taking less than half the current to do so.
High static pressure ratings can be a more significant figure than CFM
as resistance can really knock down a cfm rating fast.
The super High rpm Delta fans are just insane in most applications. For an 80mm fan to move 123 cfm, it is moving air at some serious velocity, and might even physically stress electronic components in the Iota
