Yes and three times replaced under guarantee due to the first two
failing within weeks of delivery. The present one seems to be hanging
in there, two years use so far, but still not a good design.

I was always told they were the "rolls royce" m/c battery charger.
I've recently bought one too!

They are a total ripoff price wise. They should cost little more than any
similar sized PS.

They're a lot more than a PSU though. They are supposed to do testing
and recovery from deep discharge. They have gone up a lot in price
since I bought mine though.
