The Schumacher was 1/3 the price!<br /><br /><img src="http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Schumacher-1...-/00/$(KGrHqIOKkIE1qUPbU1RBNkwqLqEOw~~_35.JPG" alt="" width="154" height="192" /><br /><br /><br />I'm monitoring the voltmeter on the wall and it looks like the Schumacher is charging the battery bank gently enough.&nbsp; Now with the solar panel on the roof, at least a person can get by with a smaller shore power charger!&nbsp;&nbsp; (Had to use shore power tonight with 2 days of rain and little sun...)<br /><br />Just a head's up.... I was warned before I bought the Iota.&nbsp; Read the Amazon reviews and consider the comments before deciding... Too bad I didn't.<br /><br />V.T.
