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