    I have a prosine 2.0 and am quite happy with it. My batteries are in
    a single bank of 630 amps.

    You say that you will be replacing your your heart inverter, are you
    also saying that it will work on 50 or 60 hz? I was not aware of any
    inverter/chargers that are so set up and not any sine wave
    inverter/chargers.
