Same here. If it's under 10 though (as mine was) you can pay to courier it to the Netherlands and give them £400 quid (more today I'm sure) for them to look at it in their repair loop. If they declare they can't fix it or deem it obsolete, they'll bin it for you (or you can pay to have a duffer shipped back). It would be nice if they'd at least listen to the symptoms first before you have to shell out at your own risk.

 

I had that exact scenario (but it was £50 rather than £400) with a Victron battery charger.

I'm sure they could scavange some parts to fit another one but hey-ho !

Sellweb in Tamworth will charge you £450 +vat to fix it.

I sent my Victron charger to them, it was them that forwarded it onto Victron.

I Just would like to get my hands on the Schematics for this unit to fix it, nothing , unbelievable!

Some of this sophisticated high end electronics is too delicate and isn't fit for purpose on boats in my opinion. You're often better off with cheaper gear that basically does the same thing with fewer functions. I'd always have a separate inverter and charger on a boat for example. I've seen too many expensive combis go wrong and if they do you've got nothing, sometimes not even shore power.

Yes, totally agree, one needs Redundancy on board. That's why this unit is only an Inverter and used for a specific use on board.
