I had the Freedom 458 on my last rig for 12 years without problems. Unless there is some new cosmic technology that might obsolete these things, I might be inclined to repair/replace the current unit and avoid the wiring/monitoring problems that might occur with some other unit.

docj; Did you mean you used the same monitor or just the cable?
If you used a new monitor, what did you do with the old one?
I'm looking for an RC7 or RC7GS?

The replacement of the Xantrex by the Magnum was easy; the form factor for both is about the same and the connections are in roughly the same locations so existing cable lengths worked. The Magnum's remote panel uses the same telephone wire and RJ connectors so I could use the one that was already in place.

That appears to be what our new inverter does as well. While I don't see any documentation as to time, it does go into a state where it shows 0.0 amps of charging. Then, from time to time it kicks in at some random rate but never the full 150 amp which appears to be a step higher than float. We have AGM batteries so water is not an issue but I think this charging pattern will provide a better overall experience than our old 458. I do know that the new 150 amp charger and the way the charging cycles are handled, substantially reduces the recharging time when we are dry camping.
