Todd chargers in 24 VDC systems [RE-wrenches]

[Richard Perez, Home Power magazine]

<x-flowed>Thanks, Chuck, we'll contact Todd and see what they say. I usually 
think of manufacturers' tech support last...

We've never seen a Todd make 75 Amps either. Perhaps it's because 
they are rated at 12.0 VDC and battery voltage under charge is always 
higher than that. As a switching power supply, I'd expect them not to 
roll off so badly as battery voltage increases.
