I have a question about a freedom marine 25. If the voltage into the inverter charger is not at 125 volts will the system not charge properly?

Call Tekris I used therm for a repair they are friendly reasonable and do excellent repairs Tel is 732 938 4996 Located in Farmingdale NJ.

The secret is in the Fishball recipe!

Second Freedom 25 inverter/charger...first one repaired, this one went to fault...started microwave on fire, fried the satillite receiver and possibly other components....installing a Mangnum....."do not let anyone rebuild the Freedom 25" First time about $900.00 to rebuild...this time about $9000.00 with components it fried. Fleetwood LLC Corporate knows of problems and only offer to sell you the conversion kit for about $4200.00....bankruptcy sanctifies previous problems "they" left with us.

The charger has four distinct charging stages - 1) Bulk, 2) Acceptance, 3) Float, and 4) Equalization. If your batteries are old and therefore won't reach full charge, the charger may not be able to get them up to the voltage where float charging kicks in. If you ever allowed the water in the batteries to get down to where the plates were exposed, one or more of your batteries may be contaminated with excessive sulfate buildup on the plates. The equalization process (Stage 4,which must be entered manually) will help to return any excessive sulfate builup back into solution, so you might try that and see if the performance improves.

I have the same unit that the charging function just died on. If I can't fix it and have to buy a new one, you can have my comm board for free. Should know my status in ~ a week .

Assuming it was working correctly at some time in the recent past (i.e. not a new installation and/or changed wiring), the "Invert" light is off on the panel and will not come on when you press the button, battery voltage is between 10V and 15V and you don't have a bad battery/cell that pulls the entire bank down the instant the charging voltage is removed, and the unit is well-ventilated and not in thermal overload, the problem is most likely an internal failure which will necessitate taking the unit to a factory authorized service center, since Xantrex does not sell parts or schematics to the general public.

the charge fuse may have broken or the charger is bad

if the charger will not charge the batteries, it means the charger is bad or the fuse for the charger is broken

OK my 2000 Discovery does the same thing. Try and hit the inverter charger with your fist 3-4 times, then listen and see if the charger fan starts up. I will be bringing my inverter to Portland this week to have the tech look at it. The other thing is it could be the transfer switch. Will let you know.
