Quick follow-up....
My brother had a new, deep-cycle Group 27 battery in his trailer. While he was at work, I "borrowed" it. When installed in place of the 2 dead batteries, things started to look a bit brighter. Lights are brighter, furnaces run faster, generator actually turns over (and starts, and runs, and makes electricity!).
With both furnaces and lights on, the battery is depleted faster than the old, stock converter can charge them (as indicated by the monitor panel).
Question is: stock converter was 40 amps. Should I go with something close (like a 55 amp PowerMax @ $120) or bigger? I plan to replace both group 27 batteries with new ones.
EDIT: it has a "deck mount" converter (not integrated with the panel) so it's easy to swap out with whatever I'd like.
