    I posted some information that I now realize isn't as accurate as I
    thought..I want to update the question with more accurate data. (the change
    is that I thought it was 400 amp hrs, but in actuality it is 800)

    I have a 43' Spindrift, that I am in the process of re-wiring. I am
    planning to have 800 amp hours of AGM batteries, and I need to replace the
    old heart inverter/charger to a new one with pure sign wave. I was almost
    ready to buy the xantrex ms/2000 because practical sailor gave it such high
    marks in a 2005 test. Before I pressed the buy button on MS/2000, I saw
    that I could read some reviews on that model, and so I did. The primary
    negative comments were that it was noisy because of the fan always running
    when the unit is on, the echo charger portion of the unit doesn't work, and
    it doesn't work on shore power of 50hz often found in Caribbean. All these
    comments were dated in either 2005 or 2006. Anyone know if this problems
    were solved in this unit? Or can you recommend a better one?

     

    Thanks again for your input

    Elizabeth and Pat
