I had not heard about the Amp-l-start builders passing. I had noticed it no longer was available but had not heard why, Too bad, great product and mine has functioned perfectly for 3-4 years now.
I do use mine with a Victron BtoB and the only hicup is that when the AmplStart starts pushing up voltage the BtoB thinks that the alternator is on supplying juice and turns on, sucking from the Chassis battery to try to charge my 600AmHr House bank.
A simple switch on the dash stopped that and I actually like being able to choose when the BtoB is on.,
Also, I feed the AmpLStart from the Load terminals of one of my charge controllers. That way it only takes power when the sun is shining
