Bus charger (not inverter) suggestions (to supplement inverter charging)

[daveola]

I've been using the Progressive Dynamics multi-stage charger/converter and think it's a good unit. We have the 9270 (70-amp) because it's the largest that can be run on a 15-amp circuit. If you've got circuits wired for 20 amps, then you can run the 9280 and charge at 80 amps.

I took a look at it, and it looks like a great unit, but it made me realize that I was missing an enormously important piece of info, my bank is 24V (and AGM, which is a slightly different charge curve)

Looks like the largest 24v unit they have is this 40-amp unit https://www.progressivedyn.com/specialty/pd9240-24A-volt-power-converterbattery-charger/

Probably the same unit as the 80-amp 12v reconfigured to put out the 40 amps 12v.

Probably.  Unfortunately because it's 24V and harder to find it's twice as expensive, but still doable.

But you mention a remote, are you talking about this little one button/one light thing?

I was hoping for a remote that would let me, for example, view the charging current, set the modes (such as the settings for AGM), etc...

Will do - I'm worried about the shipping costs to/from FL alone...  I can probably buy a used unit for $1000, so I'm not sure a repair makes sense, but we'll see.

shipping might be $100.
but Steve may know a west coast asset...
