I love people that have xantrex inverters.
It's just a matter of time.
These are heading to the recycler.Scott

Re: 43DC - 6kW Generator enough?
I agree with Scott. When I had my electrical business in Puerto Vallarta, I had a pile of Hart/Xantrex inverters just like his. The heat down there was really hard on them. At the time I was a big Outback believer and pretty much told people to spend the extra money and put in an Outback as a replacement. Since that time a lot of company’s have come out with very good inverters. John

Thats since the hurricane.
Theyre crap.
Ive also found some guys selling cheap chargers from the battery distributors and they have a 20% warranty repair rate.
VICTRON. it also has the best features for supplemental power and input windows.
My Favorite as even if there is an issue they take care of it.
Victron owners speak up and spread the word. I know I've sold a few to the members. Has anyone had problems with theirs.Scott

Heart Interface was good stuff, but then Xantrax bought them and junk junk.

Re: 43DC - 6kW Generator enough?
Yes the old Heart should not be added in with Xantrax When someone has their inverter longer than 17 years then say something. Mine actually says West Marine on it but it is a Heart and will be 18 years old next summer. It was a close out sale on them we bought 4 and all 4 still chugging away 1500 watts and 70 amp output on charge.
And Jim they can run a hot water heater been there done it a few times but only while boat was up and running to replace the d.c that was before I had a genny.Last edited by 34Hatt; 12-12-2017 at 08:00 AM.

I agree with the Heart comment, especially the old black ones, they were great, but I did see problems with the white ones in high heat areas. If you have a white Heart make sure you give it plenty of ventilation and it will do fine for years. John

Re: 43DC - 6kW Generator enough?
I had one in the picture. It was holding up the yellow ones.
The old old ones are just not serviceable anymore. The old ones suck. The current ones suck to the 10th power.Scott
