[NSRCA-discussion] voltage regulator

[John Konneker]

Claude,
A reason I would be reluctant about running a MPI product is an experience I had with their CH-818 charger.
Just before Toledo I bought one and checked it out with my VOM.  They claim it drops to trickle charge after
it delta peaks.  Mine did not.  I talked to them at Toledo where they told me I didn't wait long enough between normal 
charge and trickle.  When I got home I tried it again.  This time I let it sit overnight.  Guess what?  It not only does not
drop in to trickle but it actually discharges slightly.  We exchanged emails back and forth in which they said they knew nothing 
about it.  That their chip supplier had switched specs on them and that they would change their website to reflect the 
charger's current performance.
I just checked.  Two months after this exchange they are still advertising it as a peak/trickle charger.
Guess some folks will get a surprise, huh?
