Yeah, the Rebirth Auto inductor isn't listed on the website. It's a huge 100uH/30A beast meant for protecting chargers that are hardwired to the traction pack. Cheaper than a contactor - usually - and nothing to wear out, but a lot more expensive than the little 5-7A jobbers from Digikey, Mouser, etc...

That part is marginal if the DC current drawn by the MeanWell is truly 11A, but it shouldn't draw more than 7-7.5A at 750W output (unless your pack will sag down below 125V or so).

They don't. IGBTs tend to be used in much more powerful controllers than MOSFETs, however, and that can result in more noise.

I dunno if this is a case where the uH needs to be matched to something, or if 'more is better'.

On the first page of this thread are two posts - one by Skooler and one by EVfun - with links to two threads where I explain about the inductor and the diode, respectively.
Reading those threads should also answer your second question as well. That said, I gave you a specific component recommendation - why are you not satisfied with that?
EDIT: the thread by skooler on the first page has a link to another thread and in that thread is a post by EVfun with a link to another thread.
