I have a xantrex on a '94 31 open with 3 separate batteries that i recently replaced. I havent totally figured out the system, but it seems happier with the new batteries. mine replaces AC power, so i need my ac panel switch on. then i can use outlets and fridge. I dont have much else. i know with the older batteries, using a coffee maker for just a few minutes drained the batteries right down.
on the xantrex, i can leave the inverter light on. if it senses shore power, the led will flash. the purpose is for shore power interruption. when i do use the inverter, i turn off my battery charger switch on the panel and ac. im not sure my engines charge those batteries either, i think they are a separate system with a charger built into the xantrex.
