[C320-list] Xantrex Acting Up

[DAVE Swanson]

John,

I just listed my OEM Charles SP5000 Battery Charger on eBay.  

It was installed by the Catalina factory in 2007 when our boat was built.  I replaced it with a larger 40A charger due to an upgrade to my OEM battery bank size.  

This OEM charger work very well and is in great condition.  

Check it out on eBay if you are interested at the link below:

Thanks!

Dave
