Xantrex, a subsidiary of Mission Critical Electronics (MCE) and a leading manufacturer of power inverters and solar panels, today announces the introduction of two new FREEDOM XC PRO Marine models, continuing the evolution of the most popular and highest selling inverter/charger brand.
The new compact and lightweight inverter/chargers pack a host of features including 50A transfer relay* and dead battery charging; the ability to charge any battery chemistry including lithium ion and NMEA 2000 communications. The NMEA 2000 communications allows the inverter/charger to integrate with other compliant devices, enabling it to be monitored and controlled via a single Multi Function Display (MFD) along with the other compliant onboard connected devices.
The new FREEDOM XC PRO Marine has set a new benchmark in terms of power density and features and comes in both 2000-watt and 3000-watt models. The 3000-watt model which comes with a 150-amp battery charger weighs only 18.5 lbs. making this inverter/charger the lightest and smallest in its class. The 2000-watt model features a 100-amp battery charger. Both models can surge to two times their rated power for five seconds, another benchmark for inverters in this topography. Other key features include full output in higher temperatures, operation control via ignition key, and monitoring and control via Bluetooth app available on both iOS and Android.
Both models are certified to UL458 with marine supplement and meet FCC Class B. They are tested for multiple environmental stresses including moisture, corrosion resistance, and salt and fog spray.

Invasive alien species are known to be one of the biggest drivers of biodiversity loss, and their management especially in marine environments is incredibly challenging. Therefore, the most cost effective away of addressing their impacts is to prevent their spread to new areas.
