    Progressive Dynamics PD9270V Inteli-Power 9200 Series Converter/Charger with Charge Wizard - 70 Amp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0039T059U...9C14FP214230XF

    Looks like the price has gone up about $20.00


    The reason I am recommending the victron is ease of install and you save some money on fuses and cabling over a setup like I have but you're getting good quality and support.

    Unfortunately solar isn't cheap. Failing components will greatly diminish the pleasure you'll get out of your system.

      looks like it is DC to DC charger, input voltage is 12v. its not the AC to DC... so you need DC power source for another few hundreds. and it is still only about 840w charger. the Chinese one makes up to 1600-2000w charging from generator to battery. so we get to about 2000 usd to get it replaced by one by one solution.

      of course, it is advantage, that you can replace the only failed device, instead of all-in-one device in case of failure. but this allinone is about 300 usd, so for 2000 usd alternative of not piece of junk solution you can replace that 7 times...

      do you really believe 7 of this will fail sooner, than the more expensive solution?

        It's a 120v ac @1250 watts to 12v dc 70 amp charger.

        Apologies, just trying to be somewhat helpful based on my own experience.
