Common Concerns Answered
Is a remote panel included with the Xantrex TRUEcharge™3 40A 3 Bank Battery Charger?
The remote panel is an optional extra and is not included as standard. It is required for advanced features and parallel stacking capability.
Is this charger suitable for harsh marine environments given its water resistance?
The TRUEcharge™3 features an IP32 drip-proof rating, designed for protection against falling water. For extremely wet or exposed areas, additional protective measures or a charger with a higher ingress protection rating may be considered.
What are the advantages of the quiet mode?
The quiet mode reduces fan speed and charging output during specific periods, minimizing operational noise which is particularly beneficial for overnight stays or in noise-sensitive environments.
