G'day Capt Mike, KGB, All
My father had a 12V marine air X on his boat, bought when all the
manufacturing was done in USA. Couldn't ask for better. Skip a few
years to the current boat, asks the Australian importer who he bought
the original one from for another: "won't sell you that junk -
they're having the regulators made in China now, I've stopped
importing them they're that much trouble".
Question is, wether the 48V controller is made in USA or made in China?
However, if you can't find a reasonable priced 48V wind generator
other than Chinese-made, go with the Air-X. If/when the controller
dies, pull the rectifier/regulator
rectifier and add an external shunt (wind generator type) regulator.
