I'm an electrical engineer, and a 'wire guy', and this charger is amazing.
I wired this (orange-green wires connected) for LiFePO4 battery.
On the input side my truck supplied approximately 12.5V and up to 30A drawn from the system battery. On the output, a clean 14.4V and full rated 25A.
Once I shut off my truck, the truck battery draw stops, and I'm running on the secondary batteries I charged. Exactly as I wanted.
This is made in Australia, and I can say I'm super impressed. I'm old enough to remember when "made in America" meant something - products that were built rugged and lasted forever. This charger has the same feel. Cables larger than they need to be. Big heat sink. No doubt this will last and last. I anticipate many happy years with this charger.
After years of buying marginal products from overseas that barely deliver, it's refreshing to find one that inspires as much confidence as this. A work of engineering art. Very much looking forward to using it.

So far it's been flawless! this combined with a 100ah Renogy AGM battery and I've got enough juice for several days off the grid in my little camper.
I also purchased a cheap bluetooth battery monitor here on Amazon, and make sure I don't drain the battery below 50%

Cons:
- Price (but buy once, cry once)
Pros:
- Tough as nails and waterproof - you can literally mount this thing anywhere
- Solid charging performance - 350w/25A to the battery being charged
- Great MPPT performance - wrings every last watt out of your solar panels
- Set & forget - once it's setup, it just works.
- Size - pretty compact
Once I installed this, I realized pretty quickly that although the LEDs on the front of the unit will confirm which battery chemistry you have configured it for (lithium in my case), where it's drawing power from (alternator or solar) and charge stage, it can't tell you the state of charge, and Lithium will just output 13.3v until they fall off a cliff when they're pretty much empty.
If knowing your state of charge is important, then maybe the manager 30 might be a better unit (will also tell you how much solar is coming in, how much from the alternator etc... I personally couldn't justify the cost and the size of the manager 30, and didn't need all the features that it offers (AC input, control the inverter etc) so went for a Victron BMV712 battery monitor, which gives me most of the important (to me) info and functionality that the manager 30 will give me, and takes up next to no space.
Overall very happy with this unit and would recommend it to anyone needing to charge house batteries in any vehicle.
I will update this once the unit has been installed and seen some use.
