what will cause xantrex pro 1800 inverter to just die. It charges and I have power to outlets on shore power and generator, but will note produce AC from Batteries. I checked connections, checked batteries, reset and hard reset and keeps getting E05 code. called xantrex they said it was fried. I want to know why? 2017 Jayco Siesmic.

Don't know what happened here, but that failure mode has been seen before on Xantrex units. I had a 3,000 watt unit that came with a 3 year warranty in my sailboat.

I purchase a two year extended warranty when I purchased at West Marine.

With no warning, it simply stopped working at 4 years. Replaced it for free, bought another warranty and it has been 18 months trouble free so far.

I'm a tech advisor for West Marine; I recommend the extended warranty to all customers who are buying inverters.

Hope this helps.

I blew thru 2 Xantrex PS2000 inverters, in 5 months, before I got a good one.

The rep at a show said they have some bad batches.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

Like anything electronic, it can fail without cause. Just noticed you are kinda new on the forum and wanted to say hello! Have fun and keep her between the ditches!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!
