Battery Chargers

[sfedeli3]

Hi Bill,

I replaced my chargers with a Xantrex Prosine 2.0 Charger/Invterter
2 years ago. If your coach had/has the rediline charger, it is easy to
swap out the rediline and install the Xantrex in its place. It was not
a cheap unit, but has improved our enjoyment of the coach
dramatically. The batteries (6 ea. 6 volt golf cart) are easily topped
off within 8 hours and have not gassed or gotten crusty on me since
the old chargers were replaced. Hydrometer tests of the battery cells
at full charge have rarely varied from a value of 1.29 among all 18
cells. The Xantrex also has a much higher operating temp range than
other units. In my case, the rediline compartment gets over 130
degrees pretty regularly.
