Xantrex Fredom 458 series inverter/charger 20 amp

any additional ideas on the one? Problem, inverter will not convert from DC to 110 AC. Since earlier my November post when shop installed 4 new 6 volt deep cycle batteries wired in series to equal 2, 12 volt, there was a correction for a battery improper wired together. A call was made to Xantrex by mechanic and he was told that wiring error should not affect the inverter. NOW, invert command on Xantrex Freedom 458, 20 amp inverter/charger remote control panel fails to activate the four,six volt golf cart house batteries, to convert from 12 volt DC to 110 AC volt meter, in order to operate TV ect--110 volts outlet reset button is activated. There are four status lights on inverter: invert/wet, light is a steady green, charge/gel1 light is blinking green, and no lights showing on low batter/gel2, or overtemp overlaod/AGM. The remote light colored wire was disconected for several seconds and reconnected to attempt reboot of inverter.

  • If the mechanic miswired the batteries and created a reverse polarity condition, the inverter may be toast. See #8 on page 22 of the owners manual. It can be downloaded. However, there isn't a test to determine if reverse polarity occured. That will require a call Xantrex.

    Otherwise, according to the manual the lights are saying that the inverter is ready. According to page 6, there may be onboard branch circuit breakers. Have those been reset?
