Kent The Magma charger works independent of the Dolphin charger when hooked up to shore power. The Dolphin 30 Amp charger takes 110/60 and puts it into 220/50 to the 24 V batteries. I run the inverter

Kent, I think the photo is just for the generic inverter.  If you download the Data Sheet to the right of the photo, it will give you the specific product numbers for the various configurations.

Kent, Why don't you drop Joel Potter a note. I am sure he knows someone that can help you. I believe the group 31 batteries are a bit larger than the group 27. When it came time to replace them I

Hi John, I have already been in touch with Phil.  Too bad he's a thousand miles away. Are you able to turn off your shore power at the primary 220 breaker (above the sink by the autopilot) and still

Hi Kent. I read the post by Paul LaFrance and recognized his name and his boat because Phil Steel designed his power system as he did mine. I forwarded your post on to him as he understands your

Thanks again, Steve. I see that this Xantrex inverter has a 220 outlet on the front panel. Do you plug into that and wire the other end to the boat, or are there posts on the back for output

Steve, that's a great explanation of our systems. I was looking at a 2500 W inverter because that's what my old Heart Interface charger/inverter had. I was looking at 100A charger on advice of others

Kent, Sorry, I forgot to tell you my standalone inverter is a Xantrex ProSine 1800i 24V http://www.xantrex.com/power-products/power-inverters/prosine-international.aspx Steve Summer

I put a simple 2500 watt inverter under the cabinets over the crew bunk. I ran the wires up in the cabinets over and down to the batteries. Quick and easy. You can't see the inverter unless you lean

Hi Kent, Summer Love (SM340) has the same size battery compartment that you probably have on Kristy (i.e. 8 - 12V size 30H Trojan SCS225 house, plus 1 starting).  I seem to remember Joel telling me

Kent, Here is a photp of 13 GRP31 12v 110amp batteries in

One thing I've noted about our Outback inverter/charger is that the inverter is horribly inefficient. For small loads like a computer or recharging power tools, we simply use a portable inverter that

Does your Magnum inverter work independently of the charger?  ie if you are hooked up to 60 cycle shore power and run the microwave or A/C, are they getting 50Hz or 60 Hz

Thanks so much Paul.  So those 12 batteries are 120 A-H each in 6 pairs, right?   I would really appreciate a pic of the battery crib.  Please send to karkauai(at)yahoo(dot)com.   Thanks

Kent You are quite correct that my calculations are off. We have a total of 720 Amp Hrs in 12 lead acid batteries. Paul LaFrance To: amelyachtowners@... From: karkauai@... Date:

Kent The Magma charger is working great. Been in for 2.5 YRS. The only problem is when inverting is it drains the batteries quickly. ie: can only run the water maker for 1/2 hr before it shuts off due

Thanks, Richard.  I've been looking at all kinds of chargers and inverters.  It seems that it's hard to find an inverter that doesn't have a charger too.  There are plenty of inverters that have

Hi Kent I would suggest that you buy a Charles or charger that's a smart charger that can accept 9p to 260 V and 50 or 60 Hz this will allow you to charge the battery no matter where you. Second I

Hi, Paul, et al, I am looking to replace my old Heart Interface charger/inverter and am interested in the Magnum MS4124E. Your post below is very interesting and I'm thinking of doing something like
