Azjc I was impressed with it, no doubt, but this was a very unusual occasion for me to decide to return it. The weight was not so much an issue as the physical size. Other things that made it not work for me were.. 1. the 120V input and the 13.8 output are on the same end, and it has a short (2 foot) cord, would have made it difficult to arrange with the charger the way I want. 2. no bullet connectors, has large screw lug-type conns with SQUARE HEAD drive setscrew for some wacky reason, the Duo has bullets for input, and I don't really want to cut them off. 3. no power switch- again not a huge problem, but all these little issues combined made me change my mind.

Let me say I was impressed with the build quality and it looks like a very robust PS, but the galvanized case was large and the mount 'feet' are useless to me, this looks like something you'd have a dedicated, permanent use/ mount for, so I decided for a little more than 1/3 what I paid for it, I'd try the HobbyLobby 30 amp and my only concern with that one is it may only have a 12V or slightly higher output, but we'll see.....
