Mowjo Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 When I bought my new boat last year, under the rear cockpit seating I found a new yellow 120v transformer which I removed, this week I decided to clear out all the previous owners junk from under the seats to make room for all my junk, low and behold I find a nearly new Xantex 10TB multistage battery charger fitted to the side of the cockpit, now as my marina has no leccie I have no use for it so i'll probably sell it on, but I have a question! according to the paperwork I found in the boat the charger is 120v input which explains the transformer, I can't see all these boats with chargers carrying a transformer, so are battery chargers normaly run off 240v and is there a better way of reducing the voltage down to 120v, from what I can work out the charger is American but is sold over here as well.

jimbo Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Sounds like it must be American Frank. My Sterling runs on 240v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Some are voltage sensing and will take 120 or 240 but I guess from the presence of the transformer that as Jimbo says, your unit is A septic one. Most European ones are 240v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
