Az Wind and Solar should consider the sales they just lost as incentive to change their policy.
They should be very aware of how connected our community of RV dwellers is , being so dependent on us for most of their sales......
If they are doing so well that they don't care .
Maybe the loss can be absorbed ,,, preferably by the one that refused the return...
stay tuned

not that disappointed because the x model is a better designed product,the only plus for the older machine is it has 9 different charge controllers for different applications where as the x model just has one more set up for battery maintenance more than quick charging but i can make due,get the bulk with the iota and all it's amps in 2-3 hours and then let something else top off the battery for a couple hours
the big plus with these machines are when you plug in to the grid and all electricity worries go bye bye and charges your battery at the same time

ok,after spending some time with the machine,i dont have the battery to fully test it,my crappy rv battery if you draw 10 amps or more it crawls in the corner whimpering and dosent have the balls to take any form of amp for any amount of time,just not much of a battery but
thumbs up on 55 amp for charging,in about 2 hours i can get my battery 90-95%,a proper battery would take more amps for longer
thumbs up on 55 amps 12v,when plugged more 12v than you can use,just leave my 19977 power hog furness running and giant laptop on as much as i want,no misering electricity
thumbs sideways,this unit expects to be plugged in all the time so on a light discharge to 12.6 or so it will just go to float expecting to be plugged for 3-4 hours
so this machine is great for plugged in power supply and bulk charging but getting from 1.5 amp draw to 0.3 it takes a while,if there are uv's the solar panel can handle that though
no contest for bulk charging between the converter/charger and a standard battery charger,55 amps = about 1100 watts of solar
