T&T: Battery Charger

[Jim Healy]

Sid,
 
I do not have an I/C as big as yours (5KW?).  Back in the spring, there was
a discussion of these devices on this list.  The conclusion at that time was
that Magma made great equipment.  So, I installed a Magma 2K pure sine wave
inverter/charger with remote control this fall.  I did the work myself.  The
most complicated part of the installation was the mechanical fitup.  The
electrical installation/connection was a breeze.  Magma's instructions are
clear and easy to follow.  The unit works very well, cut my genset run time
significantly, does not create a lot of RF noise, and basically, I'm really
happy with it.  It replaced a ProMariner battery charger that did create a
lot of RF noise.  When I called ProMariner for help with noise suppression,
they totally blew me off.  I was totally unimpressed with their tech support
response.  I have not needed Magma tech support, but I can't recommend
ProMariner.
