Coach Batteries / Xantrex /

<< < (3/3)

Ron Johnson:
dpgator my Xantrex failed 3 years ago and:

** I am still using the same batteries they are 6 years old now
** I took the opportunity to upgrade to a pure sine wave inverter\charger which delivers cleaner power to circuit boards and other electronic equipment
** an added bonus was the new unit is a 4-stage charger which means in addition to the normal bulk, absorption and float functions it has a full charge feature where the charging is suspended for 4 hours as part of the normal charging format. The batteries now do not need near as much water.

When my charger failed I figured I had wrecked everything too but it was just a part that failed. Good luck.

Bruce Benson:
CW is correct, Xantrex does not support repair of many of their inverters.  A good reason, in my mind, to avoid coaches that use them.  

The last time mine failed SilverLeaf had no software to support a different inverter.  Next time it fails I am giving up the inverter functions on SilverLeaf and buying an inverter from a good company, perhaps even one made in America.
