Boat is 2001 model, the inverter was installed when new.
Been working good so far.
4 days ago I noticed the house bank was drooping 10% every day. (No load, no charging)
Turned on the charger, topped of the batteries and turned the battery switches OFF to start trouble shooting: If the house bank stayed around 100% for a week or so, the drop would have to be a ghost load, a corroded contact or something external. IF the capacity drop continued 10% per day with the switches off, bad battery. (The house bank is two T-105s, 2 years old, boat is an Albin 28TE, pocket trawler)
When I turned off the battery switches, an alarm from the ProSine inverter panel started beeping and a few lights was flashing.
(Done this numerous times before, battery switches off if I leave town for a few day, bilge pumps are wired straight to the batteries anyway, no alarm in the past)
Looked up the fault code 20 and nothing firm, closest is 201, internal fault...
Turned the battery switches back on and the clouds parted, sun shining and all is normal.
(Right now I am equalizing just to test all modes)
Question: Shold the warning/alarm come on when battery switches are off?
(Does the inverter have an internal memory battery that may be shot
And now it needs 12 volt power at all times?)
Question: What is a modern replacement for the 18 year old ProSine 2.5
Inverter, preferably with the same foot print and same connectors?
Question: Anybody know a good marine electrician in Fort Lauderdale?
