Thanks.
To answer Y-Guy, I think it is a group 24 marine/deep cycle. I'm sure it's nothing special, as I had only napa for selection where I was when I found out the battery the trailer came with wouldn't hold a charge. I have most of my lights converted to LED as well.
Thanks Big buford for the note on the IQ4. Does sound like a worthwhile upgrade..
Even when I had the 14.2V jack plug installed when running gen, it seemed to take forever to make much improvement in charge level.. maybe my expectations are too high. With a single group 24 12V battery charging at 14.2V, how long should it take to charge the battery from 1/2 to full for example? would I notice less generator time needed if I moved from the ITOA+IQ4 to Progressive Dynamics+charge wizard?
I just keep going back to my 1984 19ft TT with single Napa-like 12V deep cycle that we could dry camp with no generator for 3-4days and with my 2010 WW upgraded toy, my dry camping is more difficult.. not what I was going for..
appreciate the input all.. keep the advise flowing…
cheers.
