Xantrex 2.0 Hardware Inverter/Charger

[sfedeli3]

Hi Michael,
I've had a Prosine 2.0 unit in my bird for two years with no
problems. I think that most folks either install them in a closed
compartment (and they overheat) or they get doused with salt or
road-spray and it kills the electronics. The ProSine 2.0 is the best
of the best if you ask me. I've had golf cart batteries in my coach
for two years (new when I bought the prosine) that have never gassed
or gotten crusty. I just water with distilled every 2-3 weeks or so
with a battery watering system to keep them topped off. I've never had
to equalize in those two years and my Hygrometer was pegged at 1.3
across all 18 cells last weekend, which is usually what I find every 6
months or so when I check them. You'll need to put the unit as close
as possible to the battery bank and use at least 2/0 (preferably 4/0)
cable to the battery bank. I ran 10/2 Romex up into the coach to a
small sub-panel and powered all of the outlets, the ice maker,
microwave and instant hot off the inverter.
