I did read the Charles announcement after I clicked on it and it was opened in a new window and clicked on the plus to enlarge it.
But in any case, I think Charles was a victim of product outsourcing. Most charger/inverters are now made in China. Some of that manufacturing is supervised well by their American and European masters but some are not. Charles could not compete in this environment as I suspect the hadn't figured out how to play that game.
Their isolation transformers will be missed as they were one of the few sources of quality marine rated equipment.
