Anybody running it? If so what are your thoughts.
I was going to get the XBM but have discovered they are discontinued, although some are still available. The LinkPro is a bit more pricey but wondering if it may be worth it. We do a majority of boondocking, so I like the features of the XBM.

I have an XBM and I like it a lot. It's very useful.
It looks like the LinkPro is a replacement but unless it has a feature you can't live without I'd look or a deal on an XBM.

I've had one in for about 2 weeks. About all I can say is that it appears to work as advertised, but there are a lot of features I haven't used. All I've done is look at voltage and current and AH usage, as well as the 2nd battery voltage. Checking against a trusted multimeter, the accuracy seems pretty good except that I think it rounds up to the next 0.1 amp current draw too aggressively. This is not serious, being more of picking a nit.
One major thing, the picture of the LinkPro on the Xantrex web site and many retailer sites is incorrect. (update: as of right now, it's been fixed on the Xantrex site). I like the "battery meter" display of the LinkLite better, and would have chosen that had the pictures been correct at the time I made the decision.

Ahhhh... I didn't look at the LinkLITE. I think I like it better than the XBM. The display is a big improvement and the price is less.

He's a good guy, I forget his name. They repaired an inverter for me a few months back. Very good work, and reasonable.
