Update: Though this thread shifted to another wrenches challenge, I wanted to give an update on my original post and issue with gen failing to charge.
Though it’s taken 4 weeks to get a reply, I did get contacted by three people today from Schneider. They are sending me a warranty XWPro. They also want me to verify a few things onsite, and if that doesn’t resolve, then I swap out the inverter. So that gives me reasonable assurance that I should be able to resolve the issue in one trip (20 hr drive round trip).

It took months of back and forth on the one which they did replace them however one of the inverters sent from Schneider was a euro 230/50hz. Taking another trip and more delay. And same guy, another project with monitoring etc they refused to do anything and the client had the money to just replace them with another brand, and it’s been working fine ever since. Not a good situation Jay On Oct 13, 2023, at 8:56 AM, Lou Russo via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org<mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org>> wrote: I had a 7 year-old one die 1.5 months ago.

One that I just installed is acting weird and sounds horrible. Waited an hour on the phone for tech support to no avail. Will be a really long drive back to sort things out. Never had an XW with issues before.

In recent months I’ve had 2 DOA (one producing 180/360VAC; one charger had this nasty building THD and ugly noise until it tripped out), and 2 fail after few weeks in service. One charger just failed, and another have yet to take the long drive to figure out but it’s gone dark. I’ve sold, serviced, and installed 100’s of XW’s starting with Beta 001 and can’t think of any that just failed like of recent. Unplanned return service calls are costly as we all know. Tech support has been wildly inconsistent and presently unresponsive. Thanks, Kevin Pegg EA Energy Alternatives Ltd.
