8 gauge charge leads and clamps.
Eleven dollars for 2 digital volt gauges
Fourteen Dollars for a 100 amp digital ammeter
Six dollars for 2 fans
Fourteen dollars for misc wire, terminals, shrink, etc.
Now go run and see how much a 60 amp Sears charger costs.
Some assembly required.
I get $304 before wire and plugs. For 66 Amp 15v custom master blaster battery charger for your big banks.
Chump change for an EE with an R&D budget, or someone with 100G's or more in their Class A, B or C unit. $59 for the guy with the 20k travel trailer, a free T-1275, and some 8 gauge wire and ring terminal ends laying around. It does come with a plug and an inline electrical switch BTW.
But it does the job, no questions asked. I do not know what the back current is that it draws off the battery when not plugged in, something to run the little green LED light. Makes a good pop when I first hook it up to the battery, with a spark at the terminal, before I warm up my generator and plug it in and turn it on.
Did you build one yet, or is this hypothetical? Pictures appreciated, once yours is completed.
