Xantrex 458/(Combi 10) Inverter Charger Charger – 3 stage temperature controlled Bulk charge Constant 100 amps DC charging current (50 amps) Most of the energy is restored to the battery Takes 21 amps AC to develop this charge current (11 amps) Acceptance charge for wet cell batteries Begins when voltage reaches 14.4v @70deg (Cool) 90 deg = 14.0 (Warm) 50 deg = 14.8 Continues to apply constant voltage until Charge Current decreases to 15 amps (5 amps) One hour timer expires Float charge for wet cell batteries Maintains voltage of 13.5v @70 deg (Cool) 90 deg – 13.1 (Warm) 50 deg = 13.9

458 Multi-Stage Charging BULK: Replaces 70-80% of the battery’s capacity at fastest possible rate BULK ACCEPTANCE FLOAT 14.2 volts 100 amps 13.3 volts VOLTAGE Voltage (V) ACCEPTANCE: Replenishes remaining 20-30% of battery capacity Current (I) 15 amps or 1 hour FLOAT: Charger voltage is held constant. Replaces battery self-discharge and powers other DC loads connected to the battery TIME

Basic Remote Control Can be used with Freedom 458 or Combi Inverters

Cannot be used with Freedom 458 Inverters Combi Remote Control Cannot be used with Freedom 458 Inverters

Reading the Remote - Charging AC IN - will be lit. DC AMPS - Drops following the charge cycle. DC VOLTS - Follows the charge cycle BATTERY STATE - Indicates stage of charge cycle Left = Bulk, Middle = Acceptance, Right = Float

Reading the Remote - Inverting AC IN - will NOT be lit. DC AMPS - Varies with load demand. DC VOLTS - Drops as battery is consumed BATTERY STATE - Indicates Approximate Status of batteries. Left = Recharge Needed, Middle = OK, Right = Full

Remote Control Functions Equalizing Charge –intentional overcharging Removes sulfate from battery plates Brings each cell to same voltage and specific gravity Mixes electrolyte Wet Cell ONLY Start with full charge and proper water level Use Disconnect switch to isolate loads to prevent damage due to high voltage 16.3 v, variable based on temperature Timed 8 hour cycle

Power Sharing Your Charger is an AC load Purpose Benefits Uses more power than TV or Microwave Charging power consumption is variable Purpose Sets the maximum limit of power consumption Benefits Automatically reduces charger’s consumption Allows other AC loads on inverter circuit to run Prevents tripping & overloading of shorepower breaker

Using the Remote - Power Sharing Check setting every time you hook up Set to size of your shorepower connection Default is 30 amps If breaker trips, reduce setting Reducing power sharing reduces charger output But, increases time needed to complete charging

Battery Control Center Location In the Electrical Bay Purpose Disconnect chassis and coach batteries from their loads Control ignition switched loads Controls paralleling of chassis and coach batteries for Charging and Auxiliary Starting Protects various circuits with fuses and breakers
