Converter Charger
Hi Everyone, I have a 2004 Winnebago Journey and recently invested in three new 12V AGM house batteries. The house batteries work great but my converter charger is too slow to charge them properly. ...

I am considering replacing my charger with a new three stage 55 amp charger that charges at higher voltage initially (14.7 VDC) and hopefully won't turn down too soon. I don't want to go with a larger amperage because I don't want to overload or replace my current wiring. I am concerned however that the higher voltage could cause some damage to my existing 12 VDC power users.
14.7 will not be an issue for the RV 12v components.
What is important is if the 14.7 matches the battery charging specifications.
If you want to go 100+ amps... consider pulling 120v power close to the battery and mount the converter close for easier 12v wiring and even faster charging. AGM likes to charge fast as long as you stay in specs.
Please post what brand batteries and converter model you are considering for best answers.
