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???

Xantrex Freedom 458 - one_dusty_hoot - 09-14-2006 03:35 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!

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? Bruce |
