Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Battery Monitor

I've got both a Pak Trakker and a Xantrex XBM (now discontinued) on board. Yes, TBS makes the units for Xantrex. I needed a new display for my unit . Xantrex was no help. TBS had much better customer service. I would buy a TBS unit if you can (I don't think they are sold in the states) because they just have much better customer service for the product and they make them in the first place.

Funny that - the Xantrek Link Pro is a re-badged TBS.

I have a TBS Expert-Pro (I needed the pre-scaler for my 36v system)
and the only difference between it's manual and the Xantrek one on
Xantrek's web site is the substitution of Xantrek for TBS through the
document. The layout and every thing else is the same!.

I've been pretty happy with my system - although I have to cover it
when not in use - at the 2nd of my 2nd season I noticed that the plastic
'window' is starting to cloud. I have to make sure it's not left exposed
to the weather between uses, the UV is killing it.
