[C320-list] Battery charger/inverter

[Jeffrey Hare]

Hi Paul,

  The wires on your boat are just fine for a more powerful charger.  The
Freedom 10 is pretty decent package, but measure to see whether it will fit
in the space where the ProMariner is coming out of.  It's a pretty large
box.

I have a Charles-40 on my boat now because it was on sale.

In any case, if you can afford a higher capacity, quality 3-stage charger,
it's a good investment.

I am about to replace my 2 4D's since they are now 6 years old. I hear it
is also a good time to replace the 25 amp flyback charger.  A
inverter/charger like the xantrex Freedom 10 sounds nice but will my 4 awg
wires  to the batteries take the  50 amps charging that the freedom puts
out?  I don't want to pull larger wires. Or is it better to just get the
xantrex truecharge 20  and 
do the inverter seperate.  Any info will  help.   Thanks
