Re: [VACList] (no subject)
Andy,
I was comparing the I-P to the old UniVolt, which is probably what the
original poster is now using. The I-P weighs about 4.5#, IIRC, and the
Charge Wizard adds another ounce or 2.
Dunno about failures of the I-P, as mine hasn't in the 3 years I've had
it. Haven't heard of others failing, either. That was NOT the case with
a "factory refurbed" StatPower charger/converter that I had. That thing
lasted about 3 weeks before the factory smoke escaped. Perhaps you're
thinking of those?
My recommendation of the Inteli-Power converter is based on my
experience and that of a number of others. Some are on this forum, some
are on others (Escapees & IRV2). I've heard NO negative comments and
plenty of positive remarks.
Also, my recommendation of the I-P is not meant to disparage the 'new'
UniVolt that A/S now uses, I have no experience with that unit. However,
unless it is a true 3-stage battery charger, I still wouldn't consider
it over an Inteli-Power.
