This rig is set up with a Manzanita PFC 40L, and it charges my pack pretty quick on 220, but on the occasions when I use 110, it takes all night.
So there are chargers that can use 120 or 220?
I know there are plenty of inverter welding machines that can do it.
Or, like a welding machines, would it be cheaper just to find 2 used ones? Say a 120volt to put in the car and a 220 volt charger to put at home?
