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

This looks like a combiner to me. Don't figure how this would do away
with a battery switch, which is for the output of the batteries. please
explain application.

I think the blue-sea Battery Link ACR equivalent available in West
Marine is $25 cheaper. It has a feature where it waits 30 seconds
before making a connection, has a manual control option, etc.

Thanks guys. Nothing is ever straight forward. If nothing else you have
convinced me to do more "research".

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.
