How old is unit?

[Mike Kovacic]

Why did you remove/replace it? Curious how many and what type of battery bank you had to drive this unit?

Thanks

I bought the unit refurbished in may 2011 and used it this summer on a cruise to Maine because my other unit had stopped inverting. I had the older unit repaired and re-installed it when we returned home. The MS 2000 is a big, heavy, very powerful unit that is more than we need on our sailboat. It works very well and when plugged in provides 100 AMP charging twice as fast as other chargers. I have the table that shows generator run time at half compared to other chargers, so if you have a generator aboard this would be a great unit for you. On the inverter side my wife ran her 1800 Watt hair drier at the same time we were using the TV. I can email the specs and manuals to anyone who wants them.

Our boat has wind and solar and no generator so we need a smaller inverter/charger to occasionally power TV and computers.

Our batteries are 4 each 6 volt golf cart type 220 CCA. We saw no difference on the load when inverting with either inverter.

Hope this helps.
