![]() ![]() Then when the battery is fully charged it keeps charging and charging ang charging. ![]() This means many hours to replece amp hours. The old converter only puts out about 6 AMPS continuous charge. If you are not always plugged into AC then you likely use your DC power supplied by batteries. In this case the only advantage of a new converter is, it will not overcharge your batteries. The deciding factor that I would contemplate is:Īre you always plugged into AC? If you are, then your batteries are always charged. It's good that your unit is quiet as many of the older units hum pretty loud. They also have the storage mode (float) for periods of non-use. Like mentioned, if you do any overnight trips without shore power, the newer solid state units will charge much faster when you reconnect than your 5A unit. If you’re happy with the unit and its performance, maybe you’re okay but with a three stage converter/charger you can virtually rule out future problems with overcharging batteries. If you're always going to be plugged in, you still might want to swap it out because of the superior battery maintaining qualities these two converters have. Swap out the converter for a Iota or Progressive Dynamics converter. If you boondock at all and require quick battery bank chargeing. If you aren't having problems with it and since you are rebuilding you could put it back in and if it does fail you will certainly know how to get it back out. Thanks for the help.Ģ007 Pacific Coachworks Tango 306RLSS - 32' It runs very quiet and gives no problems at all. Its an Allanson Model D30-BRB-E with a 5A battery charger. There are 4 - 12V circuits/fuses - 3 are used - 1 spare. There is room in the panel to add 4 more breakers if I want. I have all my walls wide open and can do any electrical change I want. Its a 30 amp unit with 4 breakers - 1 main, 1 for A/C and 2 for plugs, lights & 12V conversion. The question is, Is there any reason to change it? It works fine, but its old (1981)I am very familiar with electrical, both automotive and home, but I have no experience with converters. Because I am totally rebuilding my TT, it would be really easy to change the converter. This is directed at you folks who have a lot of experience with power converters.
