upgrade xantrex 1000 to xantrex 1800
Can I upgrade my (dead) 1000 for a new 1800 with the existing wiring/batteries??? Would be a simple switch out as the boxes are essentially the same. Also does anyone have any comments on the newer ...

A neatly laid out and soldered circuit board is not a hallmark of quality. It is the origin of FETs and rectifiers, adequate choke capacity and heatsink area.
Transformer inverters stress their solid state components about a tenth as much as much as high frequency inverters. It is the nature of the animal. Old fashioned regulated wall warts seemingly last forever because they use a transformer not chopping to change voltage. There are unregulated all warts so be careful as you comment on this...
I have a 400 amp 30 volt ferroresonant charger that has endured 25 years of grueling usage. It would be absurd to think or assume a high frequency charger could vie for competition.
Chew & Spit. About as green as the basement of an outhouse. An inverter, a good inverter can be transferred from rig to rig. It has no "tread wearout" and never needs it's oil changed.
If you knew the truth about what happens to electronic components that are "recycled" your hair would stand up on end. They are exported then BURIED. And world resources continue to be plundered.
