[A/S] chargers and DC
Regarding DC power supplies for the trailer and proper charging of the
battery.
I disconnected the DC power supply and put a little solid state battery
charger in the circuit.
Got the charger at a Marine supply store. All the DC is just run off the
battery.
After I burned up one battery I figured proper charging and perhaps
replacing the charger once in a while was cheaper than burning up batteries.
Modern chargers are smart, altho that comment on the solid state stuff
being fragile is probably correct.
I had a Trace household inverter/charger in my house in Haiti which
would tolerate very bad current.
They are expensive tho. Trace does make units for RV's.
