[C320-list] Xantrex TRUEcharge2 40-amp chargers - experiences?

[pat reynolds]

Bruce,  I had one installed last year (xantrex true charge 2 20 amp)and am currently trying to see if its my charger or another area which keeps blowing my 15 amp fuse at the panel after my shore power cord may have gone into the water.  Hopefully I can get at the root of the problem soon.

 I replaced my working Guest 2-stage charger with a new Xantrex 3-stage 40
amp charger and the remote panel.  After only four years the Xantrex just
failed.  The Xantrex tech said these cannot be repaired.  Although I was not
happy with only getting four years out of the charger, a friend has one that
so far has lasted 10 years.  So I decided to get another Xantrex since it
should be a relatively easy replacement and I already had the remote panel
for the charger.  That was until I started reading reviews of the charger on
Westmarine.com.they are not stellar.  

 

So, before looking for alternatives I would like to hear the experiences -
positive and negative - of others on this forum who have installed a Xantrex
charger.  Anyone?
