[C320-list] Battery Charger Upgrade

[JJ Morrison]

I just installed a Xantrex True Charge 2 (40Amp). I had to make up 3 very short cables (approx 7" one for the Neg and two for the Pos) to connect the DC output to the busbar. I used Blue Sea MRBF fuses which connect directly to the batteries and do a neat job. The mains wires I was able to connect directly to the charger.
Good luck.
