   Hi Neil,   
   By the looks of it, this is an idependent unit. Basically it is a smart   
   charger generator, am I right?   
   I am amazed to see that its available on LPG as well.   
   I wonder how they manage to compact all that stuff into a small unit. Must   
   be an ingenious design.   
   I definitely want to get hold of one.   
   Only thing I am wondering right now is that  where to install this unit.   
   It's not cheap, but for obvious reasons.   
   I am sure Chinese clone makers are dismantlng it right now to find out how   
   to copy it. :))   
   Cheers   
   Damian
