[NSRCA-discussion] NEW IOTA 55amp POWER CONVERTERS

[Verne Koester]

Adam,
Are you employing those for field use or just at home? Being electrically 
stupid, I'm just wondering, and have been, whether a 1000 watt Honda 
generator would power all of that. For the time being, I have two 18 amp 
power supplies powering four Astro-Fight 109's off the Honda, and that works 
fine. However, I really like the ThunderPower 1010's ability to be shut down 
by the pack balancers if things aren't right.

Verne
