I am going to replace my 12 volt house charger in the coach and am
coordinating with the Statpower people on a price for a refurbished model
40. They have it down to $178 US so far and I think I can get lower prices
for multiple buys. the led remote readout is US $38 more.

Anyone interested in one if the price is right?

Tom -

Is this the model that Wes described in detail in a recent Cinnabar
newsletter? If so, I'd be interested in one with the LED readout.

Thanks

That's a great price. Too bad I already bought one!

Anyone considering updating their charger/eliminator should seriously consider this option.

Tom: You might check out their combination package if you are interested in an
inverter along with the Truecharge 40. For me, that's a better deal than just
the charger. I do think that the 40+ isn't necessary for the price difference
unless you have 3 banks of batteries which the majority of us do not.

Larry,
You would need the 40+ version which can three seperate batterys, the 40
can only charge a 2 battery system.

I would take one with the LED remote readout. But not until
after the holidays. I start a house remodel on Jan,4,1999.
All money is tied up until I get that job going.

A hell of a lot of fun - mostly.

I'm using the 40+ so that we have the three separate circuits. WE're a bit on the power hungry side right now. When we change
over to a 3-way fridge it hould get better. But then we'll be adding the PC and the budget goes up.

They do not have statpower 40+ as yet. I am in the process of comparing the
two.

Where do you have the 3rd battery? and yes they are the best unit by far
that I have found.

Thom:

What is the benefit of adding the battery charger, besides the obvious
technology in today's units? Now you have an another piece of equipment to
deal with, in addition to your inverter.

Have you considered the Todd Power Source converter-charger ($260), an all
in one unit sold by GMC owner Byron Maxwell (maxwell)
. He says it's the lowest cost of the three
"switching power supply" converters he knows of.

Doesn't it make more sense to update your inverter-charger with current
state of the art equipment? Most original one's hum a lot.

Go to the Statpower site at www.statpower.com and look at the models. I
like the statpower products and have looked at both the statpower truecharge
40+ (written up in 1999 Motorhome) and the model 40 its predecessor. In my
estimation the truecharge 40 is an excellent charger without a couple of the
bells and whistles of the 40+. It will do everything we need for a big big
reduction in price. the 40+ costs $460. I have negotiated the price for
the statpower truecharge 40 directly with Statpower and they are willing to
give us a sizable discount if we buy 9 units. the cost will be US $158 each
plus approximately $12 for brokerage and shipping fees. the units weigh
about 8 3/4# each. We would have to add a UPS charge from my house to yours
of about $9.00 depending on where you are located.

If anyone wants these units for that price I need a firm committment.

I have rethought the bulk buy of the statpower truecharge 40 models and now
think that we would be making a lot of work for ourselves by saving less
than $10.each. We can buy the units direct from Statpower for CDN 269.95
which equals $175 US. In a bulk buy they want me to pay direct at an
exchange rate that would equal approx $158 each. when adding the various
UPS rates from my house to yours it would bring it up to about $168. for $7.
each I think it is to much trouble. How would everyone feel about ordering
the units direct from Statpower at www.statpower.com?
