The batteries on my boat boil over and I have to add water every week or so. I have screw caps on the new batteries. How do I turn down the Xantrex .

I don't believe there is a way to do that, but call Barry at this location and he would be able to tell you more details. They are authorized Xantrex repair people and have been very helpful in the past. Charlie National Indoor RV Service 1, LLC498 E State Hwy 121Lewisville, TX 75057Ph. 469-277-1330

Not sure what you mean by turn down. But if you mean turn it off, it only provides power when there is a load while inverting. So you don't have to worry as long as it is not inverting.

I have done that on a set of batteries with no problem, no boiling over and no damage. They also went from very very weak output to where the pair would start a diesel tractor at -5 degrees.

open the round cap on the bottom....it's hard so use a screw driver or something else.....fill with water or sand (i used water,cheaper and equally efffective)...put cap back on.....also its heavy so have the base close to wherever it's going to be...good luck

It does not auto switch when shore power is hooked up. Continues using the Xantrex.

When adding chlorine, when replacing the cap, do not over tighten. Just bring cap down till it stops. Don't tighten down. Works for me...

I am only using Battery power and the Batteries are showing full charge However Sometimes they dispense in the middle of the day for no reason at all. I have no idea why these units behave like they do. Let me know if you find out anything I would be interested.

I always turn the tank on before opening up the regulator. And I always turn the tank off first before closing the regulator. This seems to prevent activation of the safety valves in either the tank or the regulator. If this doesn't work for you, call Bayou Classic, they will send you a replacement regulator if that is the problem.

Pop off the front plastic cover. There might be one screw holding the batteries in behind a plate. Once removed, there is an electrical connector that needs to be disconnected. The batteries should slide out just by pulling on them. If they don't budge, they might be bulged. In that case, you would need to disassemble the chassis some more.

Don't run a cap because it will drain your battery. Just get a strong battery.

I never left it sitting. I always had it plugged into the float charger. That is what is so frustrating, the float charger is designed to stay connected all the time to prevent battery failure. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I have three batteries on my boat each is connected through an 80 amp continuous solenoid. The set up works fine it keeps me from having to open the hatch to turn the batteries on and off each time. ALWAYS remember to turn off when not in use or leave the battery charger on otherwise they will run the batteries down. Hope this helps. Charles

My batteries r still going. We in stalled faucet in Feb 2014. They are 'C' Rayovac batteries. Make sure ur sink is deep enough. I know someone who bought another faucet and she has to dangle the head as the water splashes too much outside the sink - i did read a review fr simeone that purchased this faucet and same thing occurred. I really wish the soap dispenser had same touch concept for a real clean splash free effect. Overall very happy w purchase.

Hi! I'm with Blackfire: here's their official FAQ:Use 3 AAA batteries. Press the green tab found recessed inside the handle below the swivel head. It is pushed down towards the feet and in and may be a little hard the first few times you do it. The green battery cover comes off. Follow the polarity instructions printed inside the battery compartment. To close first insert the tab in at the bottom and then press the cover shut.~Sean

I had the same problem. I went on the RDS website and they said to turn valve off, run main tank down below half and then open the valve again. Don't ask me why this would make a difference but I did it and the main tank refilled and did not overflow this time. Not sure why, but it works.

Yes, I just opened my Xantrex XPower 600HD. Once the 12 bolts are off, there are more screws holding the two plastic body halves together. The bottom pad screws need to be taken off too. Make sure the radio side is the top half when you separate it as the battery and all of the electronics are on the non-radio side. The battery inside is manufactured by a Chinese company by the name of SunnyWay. The battery is a SW12280 12 v 28 oah. I searched eBay, Amazon and Google for this battery and only found one place to buy it at: Batteryshark.com for $69.00 with $22.00 shipping. $91.00 total.

I have the same problem and I can not figure out how to keep the battery from draining. I have to take the battery out after each use.
