We have been thinking about the new batteries (second use) and the type of charger we will need when home. The old charger sounds dreadful when plugged in and is 20 years old anyway. Any brands to lean towards or away from?
Trojan Deep Cycle
Most deep cycle batteries are spec'd to be bulk charged at 14.4 volts but IIRC Trojans require 14.8 volts so you'd want to consider that when selecting an appropriate charger. If you're investing a significant amount in batteries plus a new charger then you might also want to look for a charger that offers temperature compensated charging which most converters are
not capable of. Many here may not agree but I'd just leave your existing converter in place, turn it off, and instead use a stand alone charger that does offer TC charging.
