Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with Victon Centaur chargers?
 
Victron makes good equipment with features hard to find elsewhere. Their customer service is non-existent. I think I could get better service from a French restaurant after I insulted the chef.

I've had really good luck and service with these People.
 
Schneider (new owners of Xantrex) have always answered the call when I had questions.
 
Xantrex is a piece of garbage. I bought a charger last season on my vacation because my 21 year old charger bit the dust. The Xantrax was the only one around at the time and I wanted to finish my vacay. The Xantrax lasted 10 minutes. I got another unit and installed it and it seemed to work, however when I got back to my dock after vacation and had constant power for a week, the Xantrex boiled a perfectly good house battery dry. When I say dry I mean dry. So much for being a smart charger. The poisonous off gas filled my boat from top to bottom. I fought with West Marine and Xantrax for a full refund. I bought a Victron Centaur. A far superior unit, and didn't cost me that much more in $.
