Like most products, changes are made from time to time to accommodate obsolete parts or perhaps to accomplish some performance tweaks. If there have been any changes that affect ability to perform intended purpose, I would expect that relevant facts would be at least advertised on a website and at most, notification by mail of customers who purchased affected units. I've been out of the loop on B&C's product development matters for quite a few years . . . and I'm not privy to the details of changes from B to C versions but I'm reasonably certain they are benign with respect to how the unit you have will perform. If you have concerns, give B&C a call at 316-283-8000.

I have a data recorder taking samples every 5 seconds, and the current jumps up and down, while the voltage is quite steady. Is this normal?

The LR series regulators are linear devices i.e. smoothly variable DC output voltage. But without knowing exactly where you are sampling voltage and current, I'm unable to deduce the significance of your observations.
