[RE-wrenches] AGS sensitive battery charger

[boB at midnitesolar.com]

We are not really advocating doing this.  It can cause nightmares in 
service and support.

If one really knows what they are doing, it can be done (and has been 
done) but mere mortals should not
be attempting to do this.

I would get a real AC to DC charger.  If  IOTA isn't good enough, maybe 
Magnum's is
ready or did I hear that the big  "X" has had one or two of these for 
quite some time now ?

Power factor corrected even ?
