SOURCE: Xantrex Freedom 458 Combi inverter/charger 2000 watt

OK my 2000 Discovery does the same thing. Try and hit the inverter charger with your fist 3-4 times, then listen and see if the charger fan starts up. I will be bringing my inverter to Portland this week to have the tech look at it. The other thing is it could be the transfer switch. Will let you know.

SOURCE: xantrex 458 freedom....has stopped charging house

Fis\rst of all is the inverter supplying 120 VAC? when turned on?. If so the inverter seems to be working.I think your problem is in the truck alternator/charging system. The inverter is independent of this charger..

SOURCE: I have a xantrex 2000 watt freedom 458 freedom

this isn't an answer but i would like to just clear the water a little. how old is the unit? you say it the inverter works when on shore power ( 110v A.C. wall plug or 220 ) but it will not charge the batteries while hooked up to shore power? are you trying to use a generator to run the inverter and charge the batteries? I just need to a little more so i can better understand you problem and help you better

SOURCE: I have the Xantrex Freedom

Upgrade to one of the Freedom remotes, the 458 has different software, and features than the old Freedom 1500.

SOURCE: Is there a bench test for the Xantrex freedom 458

My experience has been thay there is no real "bench test" available to the general public. You can do some testing if you are familiar with how to read the color codes on resistors, and know how to test relays. There are two fuses inside, so you can check their continuity. Before going to this trouble though, get on line and download the Xantrex trouble shooting guide, bulletin No. 512-0084001-01 rev1. If that is ok, it'll be a trip to the dealer, where you'll learn that it costs about $400 to replace the board. I'm on my second one, in two years, so they aren't a long life article I'm afraid.Hope this is helpful for you.

Loosing power

You need to add up all of the loads connected to the inverter. A 120watt load at 120 volts equals a load of 10 amps at 12 volts.
Watts= VoltsXAmps.
Add to that any other load on the battery - radio, lights, etc. and the standard vehicle battery will be dead in a short time. You need to either have a bank of large batteries, such as two or three group 27 batteries in parallel, or you need to keep the van running so the alternator can keep the battery charged.

Hello I have 40 foot 2006 fleetwood revolution and my problem the batterys would not go into chargeing mode and the red fault stayed lit. And then a electrical smell and shorting noise came out of the...

Your Freedom 458 has died. At this point, you need to isolate the batteries from the inverter / charger unit to prevent further risk of fire.

It is normal, with the fried charger, for the battery voltage to plummet even while plugged in. There is no converter to maintain them. When you start your rig, the alternator on the engine is charging the batteries. With the rapid drop in battery voltage, your inverter likely is shorted.

Remove the main battery fuse between the inverter and batteries, as well as unplug / turn off the breaker to the inverter /charger. Take your coach to the nearet service center, as it may still be under (partial?) warranty.

I am trying to fix my xantrex freedom 10 inverter/charger but I need the internal wiring diagram. Is there I way that I can get it?

Unfortunately, to protect their proprietary designs, Xantrex does not provide parts or schematics except to their factory authorized service network. Assuming it is not still under warranty that would be voided by removing the cover, you might be able to see any obvious damage and procure the necessary repair parts from a third party, but that might be a lot of trouble to track down without any guarantee that it would actually fix the problem. If the unit cannot be uninstalled and/or brought to a service center, some reps do make "house calls", albeit for a fee.
