This looks pretty cool if it works. I could put dual optimas in the van. One behind the drivers seat and one in the engine bay. Maybe hooked up in parallel? However, my main concern is that it won't work well with only 2 deep cycle batteries. Also, this looks like it might require a step down voltage converter from 120VAC to 12VDC if I was on a grid. 65Amps? Isn't that a whopping big amperage? I think I'm running 15 to 30 amp fuses and I didn't think I would max those out in general use. -- Craig
