    I am going to replace my old freedom 30 inverter charger, and if I replace it with a SW 3012 it would be a direct replacement without needing to modify the wiring.
    But I am not familiar with the current made product from Xantrex. Is the Quality there?
    Otherwise, I would go with Victron, which I am familiar with from my last boat, But would need to make modifications to the wiring for connections.
    Thank you
