[C320-list] Question on Installation of Xantrex Truecharge

[Warren Updike]

Bob, I'm assuming that if you have anything other than standard flooded/wet
cell batteries (the kind with removable caps, and you have to check water
level,) you would know what you have.  In that case, choose "Flooded," and
3-stage. But, if you are not sure, do check the labels on your batteries to
be sure.

Question on installing a new Xantrex Truecharge 2 40A:



The unit must be configured to select battery type:  The four options on the
front panel of the unit include:  AGM; Flooded; Gel; and Lead Calc.


The unit must also be configured to select charger mode.  The two options on
the unit include:  3 stage and 2 stage.


I am a novice at this sort of thing, so I apologize for my ignorance.   Your
input would be helpful.


Also, as an FYI -  I ordered the unit from starmarinedepot.com.   It was
shipped within 24 hours and arrived within 4 days.  Pretty quick processing.


Thank you!
