Jackie - Try to find the make and model of your converter/charger unit. I think it is a PARALLEX Model 4445 which is most likely a single mode battery charger. If this charger only puts out 13.6VDC it may trend to boil out your battery fluids over time.
This will destroy your battery if it runs out of fluids. If you pplan on keeping this charger unit it would be a good idea to start checking your fluid levels on a scheduled basis.
It would be a better situation to change out the charger portion of this unit to a SMART MODE charger like the Progressive Dynamics or IOTA models... They will take care of your battery for you.
You need to find out for sure what the make and model number is for your converter/charger unit. It will be displayed on the unit itself. You probably have a brochure manual on this unit in the provided folder of supplied appliances and unit that comes with your model trailer.
The number you listed did come back to a PARALLEX Model 4445 from google search but I would make sure that is what you really have. You can contact a Mr Randy at BEST CONVERTERs and he can identify a good replacement for the converter unit only. I would not let Mr Randy sell you a WFCO product however. They are known problem converters with the RV'ers...
