      Brent WheelerJul 27, 2025
      If the indicator LEDs on your Xantrex Battery Charger don't light up when connected to AC power, ensure that power is available at the charger's AC input and that it's within the acceptable voltage range. The wiring should be inspected and replaced by a qualified installer. Also, make sure the charger is turned on by pressing the On/Standby button on the remote panel.

    Why is my Xantrex Truecharge2 Battery Charger taking so long to charge?
    • A
      April PerezJul 31, 2025
      Several factors can cause your Xantrex Truecharge2 Battery Charger to take longer than expected to charge. The battery capacity might be too high for the charger model, requiring a higher capacity charger. A load connected to the battery could be draining the charge current, preventing the battery from fully recharging, so disconnect all loads or switch them off. The battery may have a damaged cell or reached the end of its life, necessitating replacement. It is also possible that increasing the Max Output setting can help.

    What to do if my Xantrex Truecharge2 Battery Charger won't equalize?
    • N
      Nicholas GuerreroAug 5, 2025
      The Xantrex Truecharge2 Battery Charger might not perform equalization for a few reasons. First, check if the battery type is set to GEL or AGM, as these types cannot be equalized. Second, the charger waits for all batteries to be in the float stage of three-stage charging or rest stage of two-stage charging before attempting to equalize, which is indicated by the ready indicator LED illuminating. Lastly, an active fault on the bank you're trying to equalize will prevent equalization. To resolve this, disconnect the AC power source and determine the cause of the fault.

      If your Xantrex Truecharge2 Battery Charger finishes a charging cycle, but the battery voltage remains too low, it could indicate a shorted cell within the battery. Disconnect AC power to the charger, wait about an hour, and then check the battery voltage. Alternatively, the battery may need replacing.

      If your Xantrex Truecharge2 Battery Charger seems to charge the battery too quickly, it may be because the battery capacity is too low for the charger model, suggesting the need for a lower capacity charger. Alternatively, the battery may have a damaged cell or reached the end of its useful life and needs replacement.
