Progressive Dynamics makes a true replacement for the Axis/Vegas (their 4655 model). For around $200 you can purchase one that works correctly. I am convinced that it is a cost effective buy when you figure the cost of batteries and especially if you dry camp and use your generator to recharge your batteries. The PD4655 allows you to charge on “boost”(14.1v) past the 50% charge mark. If you are using you generator to recharge your batteries you can charge at the boost level the whole time that you run your generator resulting in less generator time run and higher charged batteries.
