Xantrex Freedom 458 issues
Our 07 Discovery has a Xantrex Freedom 458 that currently has a control board issue. The remote panel is good (tested with like inverter) but not communicating with my Xantrex. I can't control the inverter via the remote panel or the buttons on the inverter. When connected to shore power the converter will charge the house batteries and when disconnected will invert. I'm going to purchase a new control board in the near future.
The problem I'm having is that the converter will NOT fully charge my 4 Interstate house batteries (4 6volt wet cells). I verified this using a proper glass temperature compensated battery hydrometer.
When I was in Quartzsite my Classic charge controller would fully charge them after I programmed the proper charge parameters. The absorb voltage programmed in the Xantrex is not high enough to fully charge the Interstate batteries.
I'm currently under trees so I disabled the charge controller.
What I'm looking for is a programmable charge controller that I can also use to de-sulfate.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
