Best Stand Alone Charger?
Hello All, I just upgraded the single 12 volt battery on my hybrid travel trailer to dual US Battery 6 volts. I purchased a Boondocker "smart" converter/charger to install into the original Elixir ...

Thanks for the information.......I am assuming these comments mean I should use my nifty new multi-meter to test the voltage,(after disconnecting, and letting the batteries sit for a couple of hours of course) and make sure that they are actually fully charged? As of right now, they have been on the BT for a little over 30 hours, and it still shows a red light, indicating that they are charging. Oh, and what does IIRC mean?
Go ahead and use the voltmeter while charging to see that you get 14.4+ before BT says full charge and drops to float. Trouble is a fully charged 200 amp/hour battery can burn off 1 amp to electrolysis as it reaches full charge. So the BT+ at 1.25 amps is going to be real slow at the end. This is why I recommended 5 amps minimum up above.
