IOTA Engineering 318.1402 Converter and Charger, 55 - Amp , Black

This is my second one, the first is still going strong over 10 years in service, I’ve set up a second solar system and this is the backup charger, exact same specifications as the other, superior quality and made in America, I advise you buy Iota if you want dependability at an affordable price

Easy to install. Set output voltage of 13.5VDC. The max output current is rated at 55 amps. Simple plug in 120Vac input. Easy ground lead connection. Good rectifier, why buy anything else?

Great item, very happy with it

Excelente producto y todo salio muy bien.

Have bought a few of these for battery voltage maintainer, used during vehicle module programming. Half the cost of the recommended factory maintainer. Just add about 5 feet of cable with ends from a decent set of jumper cables (one set of cables will make two). Good to go then.

Super easy install, quite, and it works!No more flickering lights and heater fan modulation.

I've got two of these chargers running 24/7. One has been running nearly constant since mid-June 2014 and the other has been in use since late April 2015. I'm also using the IQ4 controller to tie them together. These are used to run computer equipment tied to a large battery.(Currently, one unit is active at a time due to circuit limits on the 120v side. I swap them out about weekly.)These units have been running great. They run a pretty constant 45 amps without any problems. When the power goes out and runs down the battery, the chargers kick in with more amperage to run the equipment and charge the battery.My only wish is that the units came with lug terminals instead of screw terminals on the DC side. The screw terminals accept up to 4ga cable and, in my experience, the cable gets pretty warm when the device is operating fully. That's not the fault of the charger, but I would like to use larger cable. I also plan on buying more in the future, but it doesn't seem you can connect more than two units.*** Update 1/9/2017 ***I've been running these two chargers basically 24/7 since I got them. They are wonderful. Each device constantly runs between 30-40 amps DC output without a problem and when I disconnect one, the other easily takes over up to the maximum of 55 amps. I'm looking at either upgrading to the DLS-90 or adding an additional charger, but I still have my (apparently unique) situation of needing to connect more than two chargers to the IQ4, which does not appear to be possible.

Returned - replaced with RECPRO unit - saved $75 - $160 vs $235
