T&T: Battery Charger

[Robert Deering]

Sid,

I am having a Victron Phoenix Inverter/charger installed on my new  
boat and so far my builder has had nothing but problems getting it  
working.  I don't have all of the details at this point, but the  
builder has been in contact extensively with Victron, and even sent it  
back to them for testing (they said it checked out fine...).  The jury  
is out whether it's the builder's error or a faulty inverter, but  
considerable frustration out there.

Will let you know how this is resolved.
