Hard to say what causes what. The older converters that constantly put out 13.6VDC will boil out the battery fluids over time which causes them to short out their individual cells which puts a hugh load on the converters...
Next thing you are replacing batteries and converters...
I have been down that road as well haha...
Have had good luck with the PD9200 series converter/charger. I get to watch the converter/charger do its thing when going thru its smart mode charge cycles with my BATTERY MONITOR PANEL meters reading both DC VOLTS and DC CURRENT.
We do alot of camping off the power grid and like to have my batteries at their best performance. The PD series converters really do a great job keeping the batteries automatically re-charged using smart mode charging and you can force any of the smart mode charge modes with the press of a button... Best of all worlds
