I'm all ready for the long rainy winter here in Portland. My initial thoughts are very positive and I recommend this for new people converting EVs. I think the next major project (If I don't go out and purchase a Nissan "Leaf" outright) is to upgrade the batteries to lithium-ion types when the AGM lead-acid batteries die.

I purchased thirteen of them, assuming that one would be bad. This means some of the shunted energy gets converted to light instead of heat. EV Awareness Day here in Portland is only three weeks away and I've got to get this beast charging correctly. In short, I'm very disappointed with these chargers.
