Thanks for the feed back. I'm glad I asked. I just upgraded to the PD4645. Now I need to set up something for the chassis battery.
Trik-L-Start - never leave home without it.

When I had a Parallax/Magnetek 7345, no. After I replaced that piece of junk with a Progressive Dynamics PD4655V, yes. And I also added a Trik-L-Start to keep the chassis battery topped off.
Well ... I guess one man's junk can sometimes be another man's treasure:

My Parallax 7345 has so far taken good care of my nearly 8 year old coach batteries. I keep the coach plugged in full-time except for hot weather. My batteries are AGM and on their label it says to float them at 13.5 to 13.8 volts, which makes the 7345 a perfect fit for them.
The Parallax 7300 series power centers are not inexpensive, are quiet, don't interfer with other electronic equipment, and carry two year warranties. Mine has performed flawlessly - BUT I do use AGM batteries - which not only float well at 7345 output voltages - but also charge well at 7345 output voltages due to the low internal resistance of AGM batteries.
Right you are. There was another guy on RV.NET who had a 7345 that he was very happy with, but it died on him. I gave him my perfectly functioning 7345 for the price of shipping.
