[RE-wrenches] XW 4024

[Ezra Auerbach]

My XW 6048 has been only partly satisfactory. I "upgraded" from a SW+  
2524 and have found good and bad things about the change.
Good Most everything, very nice interface,

Bad doesn't charge well with my small Honda is3000 Which I use  
seasonally. Also the no load draw is a lot more than my old inverter.

I'd recommend it only if there's enough power to support a hefty no  
load draw and if the generator was no less than 6 kW.

Regards

Ezra Auerbach
