Regulated voltage:
We all know how bad our stock converter/chargers are in these old RVs.
I was looking at the newer ones that have multi-stage chargers. I have seen multi-stage chargers go above 15v during charging. And this voltage is distributed to the house wiring. I am concerned about what effect this may have on more modern electronics.
I note that some of the interior light bulb replacements that are LED, handle increased voltage better than others. Some tend to burn out when exposed to higher voltages.
I also wonder about using USB chargers (plugged into the 12v circuit) to charge very expensive phones, tablets, etc.
My converter is 30amps. I am considering putting in a 12v regulator to keep the voltage constant even during battery charging. If I upgrade to a newer converter/charger they all seem to start at 45amps. Ideally, it would be best to regulate the entire 12V DC curcuit, but I haven't yet found one with that kind of current capacity, and if I do I expect it will be several hundred dollars.
Any thoughts? Is 15v+ going to cause problems, or is not something to worry about?
