Looking to upgrade the charging aspects of my soon to be new battery bank. I have 6 year old 6 volt batteries that are toasted. I believe this is from being recharged during the season from the supplied charger. Also figured that I would add the inverter portion to power the TV and other smaller devices while at the tracks boon docking. This would allow us to use the generator less and save money on the gasoline usage. The upgraded charging ability means that the batteries will get charged faster and more complete when we do run the generator or find shore power. I started out thinking about a complete solar project but I just can not justify that cost as we are not full timers or even close to that. As a working stiff, I just can not use the trailer often enough to justify that cost. I plan on getting crown 260 - 6 volt replacements and adding a good battery monitor. Still not sure about 2 or 4 batteries yet. I'll add one double gang outlet to the entertainment wall and leave all other existing wiring alone. Looking for any experienced thoughts.
This is a modified sine wave device but after doing much reading I have decided that this will work for us. The pure sine is another 200 bucks or so.
I see a ton of posts about solar but not to much about the inverter/charger devices.
