[VAL] living with a charge wizard



Hello all-

This summer I  replaced the Univolt in our '79 Int'l Sovereign with an 
Inellicharger with charge wizard. I'm curious about the experience of 
others with this funny little fellow. It seems as though when the 
wizard is in boost mode (light is on without blinking) It audibly 
cycles on and off roughly every 30 seconds. When it cycles on, the 
lights grow brighter; when off, they get dimmer.

The charge wizard performs admirably when it's in "normal" mode- 
indicated by fast flashing. No variation in light level. But after 
we've boondocked for a few hours and the battery needs a bit of a 
charge, it goes back in to boost mode.

Wondering if this is normal and I just need to learn to live with it, 
or...?

Thanks!
