XANTREX inverter charger

When I turn on the charger it 100 dc amps & goes in to era. I can't figure out why it is drawing so much any ideas

  • I have the xantrax pure sine wave 2000 inverter only. Not sure why your drawing so much but are you certain that everything is OFF.Simply shut off all breakers and 12v uses. If you eliminate any draws from the cabin then you might have a battery issue.
  • The battery might have a shorted cell, or someone might have stolen the battery, or your battery cells are dry, so they need a lot of water a long time ago, the battery might be bad.

    Good luck!

  • Sorry, what is "era"?

    What is battery condition and voltage when you start the process?

    Are you on 15, 30 or 50 amp shore power?

    Have you tried "turning down" the inverter/charger with the power/share feature (it allows you to limit the amps of 120 VAC devoted to battery charging)?
