Easy-to-install AC power for your boat

A safe, reliable inverter/charger for your boat, made to the stringent requirements of UL/cUL 458. Install the ME series in four easy steps: Simply connect the inverter's output to your distribution circuits or electrical panel, connect your shore power cable (AC) to the inverter's easy-to-reach terminal block, connect the batteries, and switch on the power. Ruggedly marinized with conformal-coated circuit boards, powder-coated chassis and stainless fasteners; the ME Series can be mounted on a shelf or vertical bulkhead.

All models include Power Factor Corrected (sine wave) chargers that are 85% efficient instead of the 50–60% efficiency seen in all but the most expensive pure sine wave inverter/chargers currently on the market. Smart chargers include five-stage charging capability (with bulk, absorb, float, equalize and battery saver stages). Battery Saver automatically keeps your batteries charged during storage without drying them out. Magnum’s unique die-cast aluminum base allows full ratings up to 45°C for superior high temperature operation.
