70 amp charger cooking 12v LEDs?
Will using one of the upgraded 70amp Progressive Dynamics charger/converters fry my new 12v LEDs (unregulated version)? I've seen talk of leaving the old converter in place, deck mounting the new o...

It is the old story that AH has A and H to it. It is only worth changing to LEDs when the lamps have some H to them.
I don't know your rig's usage per lamp location. I found in ours that only a couple lamps were worth the bother of changing to 120v CFL or 12v LED.
Depending on a whole bunch of things to do with your situation I know nothing about, I can imagine you could use the lamps you did not switch to LED or CFL to get by for lighting, while your 12v system is at 14.8.
All Your LEDs should be "tuned" for 13.6, as that is the voltage they will be at on shore power/ at home plugged in unless most of the time they are even on is when off grid at 12.x.
You are allowed to have a mix of regular 3amp 12v DC lamps. 1 amp by inverter draw CFLs, and 120v or 12v LEDs in your rig.
Some people turn on all the lights whether they need them or not. Children can be trained about that, but it can be a bad idea to mention this to DW! :)
