Xantrex™ pioneers high-power density battery chargers for the global marine and commercial vehicle markets
VANCOUVER, B.C., September 4, 2008 – Industry leader Xantrex Technology Inc. (TSX:XTX) announces the launch of an innovative new line of battery chargers designed for the worldwide mobile power market that is ideally suited for boats and commercial vehicles. The Xantrex TRUECHARGE™2 Battery Charger offers maximum power in a compact size, resulting in the highest power density for its application in the market. The Xantrex TRUECHARGE2 Battery Charger is an affordable full-feature charger line that gives users the ability to charge vehicle batteries using less alternating current (AC) input power than traditional chargers, with very low electrical interference. This frees up more usable electricity for other power needs, while reducing the likelihood of tripping breakers. The Xantrex TRUECHARGE2 also has worldwide auto-ranging AC input, so the product can be used internationally. The TRUECHARGE2 can be mounted in multiple locations because of its compact size, unique drip-proof design, and certified ignition protection. The TRUECHARGE2 represents the evolution of the Xantrex Truecharge product line, which has been a popular choice for many years. Building upon the success of the original Truecharge Series, the new TRUECHARGE2 is designed for global use and will expand the product offering. The TRUECHARGE2 is being launched in 20-amp and 40-amp 12-volt models, with more models scheduled for future release, including 12-volt and 24-volt models with a variety of amperage ranges. “The expansion of this high-performance charger line is an important development for our marine and commercial business partners,” said John Wallace, Xantrex CEO. “It gives original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket customers a compact, full-featured product choice at an affordable cost.” Xantrex TRUECHARGE2 Battery Chargers are available at select retailers and distributors. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) is US$300 for the 20-amp model and US$400 for the 40-amp model.
