[PUP] European/American Shorepower

[Philip Eslinger]

John,

Next year, we plan to leave Hawaii headed across the Pacific.  High  
on our list of priorities is getting two of the Xantrex battery  
chargers for dealing with European power.  We are looking at the  
Xantrex XC5012 multi chemistry battery chargers.  They handle input  
voltages from 100 to 260 VAC and can be configured to charge our AGM  
batteries.  All of our appliances would then be run from battery  
power through the inverter with no adjustments.  I'm still working  
through the details on how to run the air conditioning yet, but I  
have some good advice.  Below is the URL for the Xantex (sorry I  
don't know how to do the little URL thing).
