[C320-list] Battery Charger

[Jeff Hare]

I'm really pleased with the Charles 40 charger and especially with their Tech support. 

I have an older model from 5 yrs ago that didn't have an AGM setting like the new ones. 
The tech guy said no problem and emailed me info, and step by step instructions on how to adjust the voltages to match the exact specs of my battery mfgr..  Then he followed up to see whether I had any trouble or needed anything else. 

The terminals were the same studs as the Pro Mariner so it was a direct swap. 

As I mentioned, Ferris Power had a pile of current model factory refurbs for pretty cheap money with warrantee. 

-Jeff

The PO installed a Xantrex 20.  A few years later it died on me.  Called
Xantrex (or whoever they were at the time) and was told they wouldn't work
on it, but would sell me a new unit at a discount.  Unfortunately, their
'discount' price was more than I would pay at Defender for the same unit.

I wasn't impressed and went another way.
