Just had one installed today at Guaranty RV Service to keep my chassis batteries charged up. The price for it is $129.00 and change. 'Course the labor charge was about the same price. It's supposed to stop charging when the VDC hits the charged point that is set on the Battery Combiner. Sounds good, looks good, hopefully, it works good!
Cheers,
AKBrick

AKBrick.....Why didn't you post this last week.... I just ordered an Echo Charger for my coach. I really like the Magnum products and would have ordered the combiner.

Sorry 'bout that Don!
So far everything looks like it is running correctly. The nice thing about the combiner is that there are three voltage adjustments that can be made on it so that you can customize it for your particular coach charging demands. It also has status LEDs so you can quickly see what the unit is doing. I'm glad that I don't have to worry about dead chassis batteries anymore and also that they're not going to get fried by charging them. The combiner will go on and off as charging is necessary.
When the coach is plugged into shore power the combiner will charge the chassis batteries after the house batteries reach float charge.
Later,
AKBrick
