PS2512 woes [RE-wrenches]

Yes we have already built a 12 vdc version and it did over 6000 km on 
the front of a range rover across Australia a few months ago.  It is 
still running strong, now in Hawaii at this present time.  The OutBack 
FX2012 will be targeted at the RV/Marine market and will include 
neutral-ground switching (which can be defeated in the field for fixed 
installations).  It was not included in the current product catalog 
because its not an AE targeted product specifically.

An issue on the ProSine 2.0  is it only has a 30 amp transfer switch and 
the charger uses something like 20 amps of it to put out its rating.  It 
also starts to "back off" the charger when the AC load reaches 24 amps 
and when completely backed off it draws 5 amps DC from the battery even 
though the generator is running...  

It also is hard to install per the NEC (if that is required).  Has any 
one actually seen a Prosine 2.0 DC side Conduit adapter? 

The performance of the 24 vdc PS series is very different than the 12 
vdc version.
