Anyone tried one please?

The wires look a little thin for 20amps over a long charging period, and it does seem to be too good to be true.
Could be worth a try though. Think I'd give it a spray of lacquer protection before commiting it to the dark recesses!

I'm using one of these. It will cope with a battery bank of up to 200Ah. It will not cope with a parallel DC load...(groan, here he goes again.....).

So if you can mount it high and dry it seems OK. 6 months use so far.

Do you just mean lack of capacity or something more complex?
It's only single output I imagine?

It's a bit more complex I think- I posted about this here:

but it was suggested that I was confusing people; I readily agreed.

I can recommend this charger if it is being used only for charging and not connected to anything else

Ah yes i remember that.
Will read again!
