v2.05 was junk. It was supposed to have been changed under warranty on all fleet cars when they were new. This was the 2nd year of the 12 Volt setup and by 2006 or so, they'd made the decision that the 2.05 didn't get optimal performance from the batteries, so the 2.06 was released. A short time after that, the 3.0 was released, and then the 4.0..... Basically any OBC that was ever released for 12 volt batteries was eventually considered bad... A few short years after that, they quit blaming the OBC and started blaming the batteries. I think this is where they finally hit the nail on the head. I believe it was a battery issue all along, and not necessarily an OBC issue at all. All of the OBCs out there that were on cars with 6x8 volt batteries are fine. The new v6.0 OBC would work great in your application.
