TECHNICAL QUESTION... Xantrex Freedom 458 - Henry Jay Hannigan - 09-14-2006 01:36
Tech guys:
I have a Xantrex Freedom 458 that I want to hookup to replace my two
battery cookers in my 80FC31....My question is.......can I just hook
up the positive and negative lead of the Xantrex to the EXISTING
positive and negative(gnd) leads AFTER I disconnect the two cookers?
eg...remove two battery cookers, leaves me two leads; one positive,
one ground and I want to hook the Xantrex plus and minus to those
leads to have a "new" battery charger.
My question has nothing to do with the INVERTER side as that comes
later depending on how complicated and involved I want to
get.....Just asking if I can hook upo the battery charger to existing
leads for now...thanks...have I overworded this???

+ to +, and, - to -. and dough-see-dough, that's
all there is to it Hank. Your existing wiring should
be of adequate size to carry the current.

Inverter needs BIG wire-SHORT length from the battery
bank, LOTS of battery current needed, Wires to outlets
standard.
I've talked to Wal*Mart, Seems they're scheduling full
50 Amp hook-ups right after working out trash pick-up,
Faux grass patios, and a Honey Wagon. Cable comming soon!

TECHNICAL QUESTION... Xantrex Freedom 458 - birdshill123 - 09-14-2006 03:49
Bob: Dont laugh, but there are 2 Wal Marts in Canada that have dump
stations on the lot. The dumps do not belong to Wal Mart. They are at a
Canadian Tire and a gas kiosk. There is another Wal Mart in Nebraska
that has a special parking area for 18 wheelers. Just like a truck
stop. I can see the Wal Mart greeter saying: Welcome to Wal Mart. Where
would you like to park?
