Thanks BFL
Purchased the 5 amp for individual battery charging, not for charging the whole bank. I have a Xantrex Freedom 458. Currently the remote panel for the xantrex is dead, I traced it down to the control board. Still charges and inverts, just won't talk to the remote panel. If I disconnect/reconnect the remote panel the charge LED on the panel will light for about 20 seconds then go out. Also, I believe the battery temp sensor is bad. It floats at 13.5 and does not change with ambiantemp. When its 30 deg.F it should be floating at 14.3. I have a new temp sensor on order.
I know it's a 12 plus old unit but its rock solid and still manufactured. Found a source for the control board and might replace so I can get the remote panel back. Equalize mode can only be initiated by using the remote panel, the only option I'm without.
Thanks for the post I'll look into the cabling.
