cumbriasteve Moderator Messages 9,645 Location Cumbria UK Apr 26, 2012 #2 Looks like one of the many Chinese imports, 50amps min is a bit high if its for car work. Think its a case of pot luck, some have bought them and doing ok, others have packed in within hours and then how good is the aftersales? Personally I would stick with a decent common brand even though they do cost more.

Dev 8th generation, Weyland type Messages 1,222 Apr 27, 2012 #4 Doesn't take .6 wire either which would be useful for car panels. Max Current Output DC 250@65% Click to expand... I'm not sure what that means, but if it means to day a duty cycle of 65% at 250 Amps thats pretty... Improbable. But hey, what do I know, could be true and could be a bargain.
