The on-line manual states that marine batteries must be REMOVED for
charging. Obviously this unit is not intended to be installed aboard a boat. Joe BTW, the reason we are not keeping Iraq's oil is that the USA and the UK are honourable nations and are not going around the world stealing things that look interesting. |

I thought, wrongly, the little charger might be of interest to small boaters as well as cruisers...... This is my fault and it won't happen again. Like a goddamned bunch of brats in a sandbox.

I noticed that it has a five year warranty *IF* you send in the warranty card within 10 days of purchase. Yes, already sent...(c; Noticed they have no online registration. I also sent them my OPT-OUT warning with the card, properly encoded data so I can tell if they sell my information to outside parties, the usual reason they are so adamant these days about having your personal information....so they can sell it to the spammers.

Walmart also makes refunds and returns just too easy, any port in the country. Sounds like a great leap forward in technology if it really will do the same job as a "$800 West Marine smart charger." FWIW I bought a UL-marine rated 40 amp 3 output smart charger for about half that, but it's still a lot more than this Wal-Mart charger. The only problems I see 1- you can't put 480 watts through a box much smaller & lighter than the West Marine kind, something's gotta give. One side of the case, that yellow part in the picture, is one giant aluminum heat sink. Then, there is a large blower fan that comes on with the charger and remains on throughout the cycles. At 40A it's cool. I'm monitoring its output with a series shunt feeding my o'scope to watch it work. Its output will be VERY equipment friendly! It's PURE DC not the usual half or full wave pulses of the powerline. 2- it is apparently not UL-marine rated, which might void your insurance policy Interesting point..... 3- if it shuts itself off after every charge, then you could still go aboard your boat to find a dead battery Yes, I wouldn't recommend it replace the boat charger. I've emailed Vector to ask about a marine version that's mountable and continuously operating without the complete shutdown feature. The diagnostics look pretty cool. I wonder if there is any way to over ride the 'Battery Voltage Too Low' fault. If the battery voltage ever gets THAT low, the whole battery bank is TOAST. It's a charger, not a wizard....(c; Larry W4CSC Is it just me or did the US and UK just capture 1/3 of the world's sweetest oil supply? What idiot wants to GIVE IT BACK?!! |
