I'm late getting to the party on this post, but I use the echo charger for
my starting battery and like it. Practically all my charging is done via
solar (with boost controller) into house flooded batteries. The echo unit
puts the overflow into the starting AGM battery. I do have a shore power
multistage charger on board that's hardly ever been used. Also, use a Link
20 to monitor both. I say "starting" battery but it really ins't used much
for that -- it is a backup, should all else fail.

Does any one have any experience with these devices. I understand with
these
you don't need battery switches, combiners or isolators.
