Re: Charger Opinion Reply #25 – March 30, 2014, 10:15:01 am Dave,If budget is no object, replace them. If it is, identify the problem and fix/replace it.I agree that a smart charger is a good upgrade, but would only replace an isolator and other components if defective (and there are other less costly ways to do its function).

I have both the desulfator and built-in inverter/charger charging while on shore power. Both are "smart" and the desulfator is only 2 amps. Quote Selected
