Some things on a boat are meant to be tinkered with. Your electrical system shouldn't be one of them. Once it's installed, the charger, inverter, combination inverter/charger, or battery monitor should just do what it's supposed to do. Electrical devices have one rule when it comes to boaters: Work! Boaters don't want to troubleshoot a complex electrical system when all they're trying to do is catch fish, catch a breeze, or relax in the gentle rocking of the open ocean.
For boaters, Xantrex is a name synonymous with quality and performance. And the brand names "Freedom" and "Link" are often spoken about with the same reverence as the big one that got away.
