is the convertor supposed to charge the batteries?
Our parrallux 7300 never has. Years ago we bought a tiny charger and installed it in the battery area. It was recommended by this forum. I wonder if it affects the convertor Thank all

The OP has a problem somewhere, but it's not the 7300 causing it.
The 7300 is a switch mode that does not need the battery as filter like the dreaded 6300s. The 7300 is an excellent converter, single stage 13.8v. Ours in the 2003 trailer is still going strong. I have had it doing 56 amps when used as a straight power supply. It does not buzz and it has a quiet fan that comes on only when needed.
The 7300 isn't a good charger for batteries that need 14v+ of course, so one option is to keep the 7300 for when on shore power as your converter, but use another charger for battery charging. EG you can add a deck mount converter up front close to the batteries, or use a portable charger such as the VEC1093DBD. You don't need to yank the 7300 from under the fridge or wherever they stuck it if you are putting a deck mount up front. You can have both.
