Only in one review: Current 25 A (Atorch CL24).
BW150: BW150 is more convenient than the CL24 and recommended for batteries up to 12–24 V if 150 W is enough, despite retained limitations.
Atorch CL24: Accurate at low currents and feature-rich, but limited to 150 W and problematic in CV, CR and CP modes.
