Xantrex Freedom HFS Inverter/Chargers
Another affordable solution from Xantrex. The Freedom HFS Inverter/Charger has everything the Freedom Xi Inverters have, as well as a 55A multi-stage battery charger built in. It will charge a dead battery from zero volts! The programmable smart battery management maximizes system performance, by conserving power, while always making sure the batteries are fully charged. This is a great power management device for anyone using a 12V system. Additionally, the charge rate is configurable from 5A to 55A, so you can set the battery charger for a lower max current if you have a smaller battery bank. It is pre-set for use with lead acid battery technology – flooded, AGM, or Gel – but also has a custom battery setting for use w/LIon battery systems or other specialty batteries with unique charging parameters.
FEATURES:
- Available in 2 models: 1000 watts or 2000 watts true sinewave output
- Powerful fast charging 55 amp, 12 Vdc multi-stage battery charger
- Internal automatic transfer switch transitions power from an AC source (ie. shore power) to DC source (ie. battery storage) within a fraction of a second. And then switches back when AC power is detected stable again.
- Detachable display panel displays inverter status and battery status information on the screen. The panel can be removed and mounted on a wall or other location for easier access and system monitoring.
- Two GFCI receptacles on the front, during inverter mode, provide 1000 watts or 2000 watts of power to operate AC devices (ie. Generator)
- High (2X) surge capability allows you to handle hard-to-start loads, such as TVs and refrigerators
- Cold temperature performance down to – 20°C for the harsh winter environments
- Quality, reliability and safety measures meet stringent CSA and UL458 with marine supplement standard
- Configurable ignition control that helps to minimize battery drain. Ignition lockout stops the inverter from operating in the absence of a voltage signal, from the vehicle’s ignition. And then the auto-on simply turns the inverter on and off when the ignition is engaged/disengaged.
- Dead battery charging down to 0 Vdc
- Quick connect AC terminal block for fast and reliable installation
- Programmable Smart Battery Management logic to facilitate extended battery use & life
- Overload, over temperature, under/over voltage protection
- 2 Year Warranty
Tips on location of the Freedom HFS Inverter/Charger:
- Dry: Do not mount the Freedom HFS in an area subject to splashing water or bilge water
- Cool: A cooler temperature is better, ideally between 32°F and 104°F
- Ventilated: For ideal air flow, allow at least 5 inches of clearance at the DC end of the inverter, 1 inch on each side, and 2 inches on the AC end
- Safe area: Do not install in the same compartment as batteries, or where the gasoline containers are – harmful gases and acid is not good for the inverter
- Good proximity: To the battery compartment and the AC source, to avoid excessive cable lengths (which reduce input and output power due to wire resistance)
