Allen what inverter was he replacing?

The FX / Outback inverters are limited w/ their DC charge rate. A large 
cell, we also spec the KS series 2 volt cells, will take for ever to 
charge/ a generator w/ a single inverter. The other advantage we always 
stress,  in the event  a cell goes bad, we can reset the inverter's low 
voltage set points, remove the cell, contact RAE battery and have Roy send 
a replacement cell ASAP. Can't do that w/ those golf carts...... System 
will still work while waiting for a replacment.
