I just replaced my battery with a Battle Born 100ah and my converter with a Progressive Dynamics unit. When I'm plugged in I show 14.5 volts which is easily a volt higher than before (most of the time). Do I have to consider protecting the circuit boards in my fridge and water heater in a 12 year old trailer? Is this even an issue or am I over complicating things?

The bulk charging voltage for flooded batteries is 14.4-14.8V so I would not expect any problem with your electronics. You've been undercharging your batteries for 12 years.

No issues at 14.x volts for your electronics. the fridge is good until 15.4 , EG.The real question is whether you have to limit the time at 14.4 or so and if it even goes too high with the Battle Born, depending on which PD model you have and what that might really mean.Recent discussions on that here left that all as an unknown, with some choosing one way and some another. I don't know what is the correct answer.

I don't have a PD or Li (and never will! :) and have been banned from even saying Li because I don't have a dog in this race. Oops I said Li , my bad! :(

BFL13,You can Li all you want! If there are an affordable cold version Li, I would own a set. As it is, next summer I intend to come to BC and pick up 4 to 8 SiO2 jars.
