Hi all, The magic blue smoke has escaped from the lovely Magnum 3012 inverter/charger. I can live without load support. But I do want to be able to limit how many amps I draw as I'm often in ...

Hi BFL13,
And what brand name is that converter?BFL13 wrote:
My 100 amp converter/charger will run at constant 103 amps for at least an hour with no tapering of the amps.
It is a PowerMax PM3-100 that I have had for a few years now. I have set it to 14.8v using the internal pot, which killed the 3-stage profile, so I have to manually turn off the 100 when the batts are done, and use a different converter at 13.6v after that.
Actually, I find that if I leave them at 14.8 overnight , my 6v batts are up to baseline SG next day, and I don't need to do the 15.7 volt thing with my Vector to get them there like I have been doing.
Very interesting, but late in the day for me to learn that! (The 6s are five years old now and at 90% original capacity by actual measurement recently) :)
I also could use my external pot knob adjustable voltage PM3-100 unit to do it all, but I don't need to with my trailer set-up as is.
I am having trouble deciding what to install in the slide in camper and what to keep in the trailer among all my toys! My "Profile" needs an update someday :)
