i emailed the company asking how much one of these costs, if they have a US distributer and if they accept credit card.
This was my responce.

Hi
This model is not currently shipping as it is currently being upgraded
to a new 300W version. The price is still expected to be around the
same (usd150)
The new model is due in about four - six weeks. We will email you when
we have more details

visa/mc/bc are ok ... theres no one in the USA sorry

regards
doug

$150 for a 300watt psu, hey zip-lock.....you should be the us distributor

with
9VDC-18VDC (+12 VDC) input rating
would this survive the crank? If so, the only thing seperating this from the opus would be the shutdown controller, and you could do that with a simple relay, right?

The Keypower's with 250W don't generally survive cranking, although there have been exceptions. I wouldn't worry too much though - buy a $20 1Ah batt, 4$ relay, and a couple feet of wire to rig up a cheap starter acuated tank between your two batt's.

My Keypower 250W survives cranking all the time, except when I have the computer on for more than about 45 minutes with the stereo on (amps too) and engine off.

A large part of it has to do with your battery. Before I got a new battery, it would never survive cranking past 5 minutes engine off.
