Why buy a 9260 for $60 more and it doesn't even have an adjustable voltage, just three set voltages to choose from?
Because of the 4th stage (Automatic equalization) I have done research and the only two I'd suggest are the Progressive Dynanics and the IOTA with IQ4
Adjustable voltage is nice.. IF YOU KNOW HOW TO ADJUST IT. (As it happens I do) but even though I have an 80 amp adjustable.. I prefer the 80 amp 9180 with wizard because I have never seen another converter (Save for the IQ4) that had that auto-equalize feature.
So it's not blind love. it's a couple years of solid research.
For some years now there has been a Boondocker version of the older model Randy calls a "PM4" that does that destratification boost every so often during the third, 13.2v stage, "storage".
Of course it is not "equalization", but that is what PD calls it and other brands that do the same thing have to be careful in their advertising what they call theirs.
You can get the new model with that fourth stage too if you want, but must ask for it specifically. It is a bit muddy on the website for details. Their "paperwork" is not keeping up with what is going on, but is getting there :(
