They are there Dodg. Under Products on left, Battery Management System. The 'Flyer' gives more info than the press release and the Manual is there too.

$1600 on ebay

you can do a good system with top components cheaper than that.
It is probably aimed at the commercial market when electrician time
counts and is expensive. For DIY market it's too expensive I guess

have fun

They look a good unit. Pricey, yes, but considering they are 3 (or 5) stage charger and operate from 240v as well as 12v (they will up the voltage to what is needed depending on the battery type to ensure complete charging) and also takes a solar input with maximum power tracking built in, it ain't too bad. Also has remote control panel with all kinds of history and battery level readouts.

Looks good, as long as you can part with the $s of course.

Cheers
Gerry
