After reading up on sulfate on and what kills lead acid batteries, I have learned some things. Firstly, I have been backwards on my charging routine. I always charge them just before I leave when I should be charging them as soon as I get home. Secondly, the converter/charger in my new RV is not going to be the best way of keeping them healthy. Finally, I should be able to extend the life of my current batteries by performing a desulfation procedure.
For the last option, I can buy the Black and Decker charger identified above which has some nice automatic features. I can make my own desulfation which may/may not work and may/may not burn down my house. Finally, I can buy the BatteryMINDER 12248 which probably won't do as well in recovering my current batteries as the B & D unit, but with the smaller form factor, I can install it in the camper permanently.
Still not sure which option I will take. I haven't stated a good fire in a while.
