I need to replace my inverter/ charger(Trace) I never really use it but it would be nice to keep the batteries up and watch a movie on a sleep over once in a while. I have 2 group 24's, 1 for each engine and a group 27 for the house. I would really like a matched system with Inverter/ charger, battery switches and isolaters. Any help would be appreciated.
I enjoy reading all the posts here it's nice to go on a boat web site and read about boats. Keep up the good work
I would look at articles written by Nigel Calder in Professional Boatbuilder magazine. He is one of the most knowledgeable and realistic people when it comes to onboard electrical systems.

Thanks Brad, I'll take a look.
Just a thought, if it's only a movie, why not stick with DC components? A DC/DC converter may suit you better.
I do have a couple outlets for a vacum and a coffee pot. But it is interesting I did notice that the T.V. coverts ac to dc. I would imagine that DC/DC would be simpler.
The only reason I am replacing is something on the inverter keeps running( 2 separate fans) even in the off position and keeps draining my batteries. Hot and cold temps.
