I am considering the purchase of the Iota DLS-55amp charger for my RV batteries. It was also recommended to me to add the IQ-Turbo smart charge controller. This Turbo unit is supposed to reduce the time is takes to charge a battery. The current way I charge is by connecting the generator directly to my 30amp trailer connection and using the "on-board" converter/charger. I have upgraded to the Boondocker Series 55amp charger sold by bestconverters.com.
I am interested in this unit so I can charge my battery bank (two 6v Trojans) using my 3100 watt Champion generator. I normally don't like to run my generator more than 2-3 hours per day, so I am looking to optimize that time by using this Iota charger.
Does anyone have experience with this unit?? I fully understand that it is difficult to estimate charging times, but I wonder if this unit with the Turbo controller will cut times by 10%, 20%, 50% ??? If it's only 5-10% then it's not worth the $160 investment.
Thanks!
