A way To Save Charging Time

We discovered a way to cut our charging time by 60%!!

During the off-season I purchased a brand new Mastervolt Mass 24/75 battery charger from a dealer who was liquidating overstock on eBay for only $325, $400 total shipped to MA. Last week a good friend installed the new charger along side our existing Mastervolt 24/50 charger.

I got a quote for a Solbian solar array last season which came in at $10,000 when the mounting wing was included, which would have reduced our need to run the generator down to less than one hour per day. Now with this new additional charger, for only around $700 total, we have basically reached the same goal, added redundancy, saved a ton of money and don't need to look at or live around the solar array.

It turned out fantastic!
