[C320-list] Freedom 10 inverter/charger

[Rick Sulewski]

Gene,
Did you check to see if the main breaker may have been turned off?
My main breaker is located in the aft port locker and is easily switched off
when storing gear over the winter layover.

Subject: [C320-list] Freedom 10 inverter/charger

After a winter of shameful neglect in which all three old batteries
completely discharged (two 4Ds and a smaller backup) and died and were
replaced (kaching), we now find we're getting no output from our 15 yr old
Freedom 10 inverter/charger. This means that batteries are not being charged
when on shore power and there's no electricity from the AC outlets when
we're just running on batteries.  We have current flow to the
inverter/charger and its fuse is not blown.  We have turned the inverter on
and off and pushed the two reset breaker buttons on the top to no avail.
 Are there resets we are missing, do we need to play with dip switches, etc?
Should we go through the steps in the manual for initial installation?  Or
is the unit toast? Does anyone have experience with this?
