There is a potentiometer on the board of the IOTA chargers that used to be assessable through a hole in the cover. I adjusted a new one two weeks ago and had to open it up to get at the pot. Adjusts up 15.6VDC with plug in and 14.8 with the jumper plug out. Some of the older models would adjust up to 16.5V and the new ones may as well, I did not need that value with the last charger.
These are very simple units that could be considered a fire hazard in the wrong place/hands. I use for the lowest of the low budgets that are way, way off-grid and always explain the caveat to not have flammable things anywhere close to it. I had a couple of Todds spark off a number of years ago. Caused some excitement. -Dave David Palumbo Independent Power LLC 462 Solar Way Drive Hyde Park, VT 05655 www.independentpowerllc.com NABCEP Certified PV Installer Vermont Solar Partner 24 Years Experience, (802) 888-7194 From: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org] On Behalf Of William Dorsett Sent: Monday, October 15, 2012 2:27 PM To: 'RE-wrenches' Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Off-grid non-inverter battery charger recommendations? Thanks Aaron, but I need one that goes to 15.5 or 16V for equalizing the bank. Just got this back from Iota: "Iota does not make any chargers that go to 15 volts output for equalizing. Thank you Iota Engineering" Xantrex TruCharge 20 at least has an equalize setting, though I don't know how adjustable it is.
