| I installed my Stealth1 DC and Stealth Digital Gauge over the last few days. Being a mental midget when it comes to all things electrical I was freaking out about this project.
Well, after several calls to Stealth, countless Paint diagrams drawn, a ton of new wire connections I have them installed and WORKING!
I havent had the boat in the water, but I confirmed the unit is working as designed and in conjunction with my Minn Kota AC two bank charger.
First off, Danny from Stealth is a class act! He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about this system and can step anyone, even me, through all the steps involved to confirm A) how your boat is wired B) make sure your installation is working to conform to the way your boat is wired.
I was VERY nervous going in. I received the unit on Monday. I am leaving for a LOW Canada camping trip this Tuesday and I was concerned I could get it installed, tested and make sure everything was working before my trip. I am very particular about everything and if I didnt feel comfortable with it, I would have taken it out and put it on the shelf until I got back home so I wouldnt have to worry about it.
Thankfully I will not have to.
I would say anyone interested in considering a DC charger, give Stealth a shout. They will really help you out and make sure you get the results you are looking for.
I will provide some feedback following my trip to see how it works, but in initial testing in my garage I was able to observe the trolling voltage go from 26.1 volts (static state of batteries) to 27.9 volts when the stealth1 DC took over proving that it was indeed charging my batteries.
I will hit the water with it this weekend to confirm everything functions because I literally tore apart half my boat doing this project and there were quite a few new connections made so I need to confirm everything works with the trolling motor, etc. | |
