Hello,
I just received an Iota DLS 27-40 to replace two AIMS converter chargers that both failed (apparently known factory defect).
Reading the installation manual, a couple points caught my eye that I’d love some more knowledgeable feedback on:
1) The all caps “do not use extension cords”- I’m assuming that if I use an extension cord rated for 15 amps I’ll be fine? Anything I could be missing here?
2) “to minimize the possibility of arcing at the battery, connect iota power cord to AC BEFORE connecting at the battery.” - Im planning on leaving the charger (semi) permanently connected to the battery. This means everytime I use the charger it will be connected to the battery before AC power. Am I reading too much into this? Surely, considering this is advertised to RV’ers, the unit will work in this configuration, but I was hoping someone here could clarify whether I’m missing something here too.
Thanks in advance!
(I tried to call iota product support but had to leave a VM)
