Sterling Power Products
 
Does anyone out there have any experience of sterling power products?
Good or bad I would be very interested in hearing what you think of
their alternator regulators and alternator battery chargers as well as
their service.

I have a Sterling Mains powered battery charger. This is a switched mode
device which charges 3 batteries. It works very well and seems well
engineered.

I have a mains charger, and an alternator booster by Sterling. They've
given good service - no failures

I have a 50A charger. It works fine but the manual (1 page) is full of typos
mistakes and downright incorrect information such as lights and switch
settings that is just doesn't make sense.

I called them to point out some of the errors and they laughed and said that
their 'customers' appreciated that there money was spent on technical
development not on fancy manuals.

If you are happy with this sort of support then I guess their kit is ok. If
you need serious tech support heaven knows what sort of response you would
get.

The charger is made in the Far East (Taiwan as far as I remember)

I have noticed that their documentation is pretty poor in terms of
layout and errors but I hadn't realised that it was plain wrong.
Interestingly though there have been no complaints about quality of the
kit which is what I expected.

Thanks for the input.
