Peak Voltage Sine Wave [RE-wrenches]

We've observed higher charging rates with the Iota 75 amp chargers than we
ever saw from the 75 amp Todd's. With Todd's we would see 70 amps for a few
seconds and get 55 amps after 15 minutes of charging into a 700 AH battery
bank, charging current would be down to 20 amps at max voltage. The Iota
starts charging into the same battery bank at 78 amps an stays at 75 amps
until it reaches its max volts setting.

Bob-O, the sucessor to Todd seems to be the Iota line of HF chargers/DC
power supplies. Very similar design, performance, and pricing to the old
Todd. I think by some strange coincidence a large number of the Todd
engineering staff ended up at Iota when Todd went belly up. We've been
selling Iota chargers for over a year now with no problems to speak of.

Ray,
I was referring to the Todd type of charger, which is, unfortunately,
out of biz. Statpower (ok, Xantrex) makes one but it's pretty spendy.
Best, bob-O
