Xantrex SW3000

Hi Folks,

Well Xantrex has an inverter charger with temperature compensation on the battery. Worth considering I think.

Unit weighs 73 pounds.

sw inverter/charger 3000 watts

Opinions?

  • I can only recall once when it shut down for no apparent reason. I installed it in last May, so that's pretty good. Otherwise, flaw-free.

    The fans come on when it's asked to work, but they're hardly noticable.
  • Hi 2oldman,

    Any sign of problems with the Samlex? I am considering their 3k unit.
  • My 2kw Samlex won't run the MW and toaster at the same time. I kinda wish it would.. that 3kw would be nice.
  • That unit has been replaced with the 3012, but all of the Xantrex which use the Xanbus system do a great job charging- you can set all of the voltages to whatever you want.
    The bad part is they changed the Control between the 3000 and the 3012. The 3000 uses the same control panel as the older RS series, and the 3012 uses a newer system.

    The new ones do allow for parallel and stacking outputs though.

    SW Next Gen.

    24 volt next gen
