I've been looking at them for some time.  I've been worried that no one 
in this country can adjust or program them.  I recently come around to 
the view that the CV stage is not crucial for LFP cells.  I've had a 
couple of chargers on order from EVComponents for about two months.  I 
expect them "any day now".

The Chinese supplier or manufacturer is advertising on evtradingpost:

I got a response and a quote from a query.  $480 (in China) for a 2KW, 
which seems practical to use both with 110vac and 220vac, $940 for 4KW, 
and $1400 for 6KW.  All quantity one.  About 15% off for 20, about 20% 
off for 50.  As I recall, the EVComponents price for a 2KW is $500, so 
it would cost quite a bit more than that to get oneses from China.

There have recently been some positive comments about Elcon on EVDL.
