[C320-list] Xantrex Acting Up

[Jon Vez]

Although I also have a Charles 5000, if I were shopping for a new charger I
would consider either the Sterling mentioned in another post or the Pro
Mariner Pronautic--important to note that this isn't the same charger as the
crappy 'Fry Back' that came on many earlier 320's like mine.

There are two things I do not like about the Charles--no equalization
option, the switch setting for battery type is in the back of the unit and
options like temp sensing, remote panels etc are non-existent or limited.

For those who haven't bookmarked 'Maine Sails' site, here is another
excellent article on chargers:

We have used a Charles 50 since our pro mariner died many years back.
Lightning took it out in July and we replaced it with another Charles 50. We
had no complaints with it and it was quieter than the pro mariner.

that we can turn off the AC breaker restart the inverter and it will power
up and invert but only for a few minutes, it then shuts down and won't come
back on until AC is supplied again.
