Revainrating 3 out of 5

A great idea! Reliability is questionable. The time will show.

UPDATE #2: A replacement has arrived and has been working for about a week now. Everything seems fine. It gets pretty hot (> 140 Fahrenheit). I'm nervous about the reliability of the electronics. Rating 3/5 UPDATE #1: Channel 2 stopped working in less than 2 days. The LED does not light up (only) on channel 2, regardless of the configuration or switching the device on/off. El Broco! I like NOCO products in general so I will be returning this item and hoping the replacement will work reliably. Rating 0/5. Original review: I use it to charge four LiFePO4 batteries independently in a 24V system. I connected two sets of two batteries in parallel. I then connect these towing kits in series for a 24V system 2S2P. This thing helps keep the system "balanced" by charging each of the four 12V LiFePO4 batteries independently. Really isolated from the ground. I was worried that all the grounds would be common. no Each exit is TRULY INDEPENDENT! HOORAY! 4 stars simply because the unit is quite large (about 6W x 8D x 3V) and I also bought separate 10mm battery cables for about $60 more. NOCO is REALLY "proudโ€ of their accessories. I think accessories should of course cost less. Rating 5/5
