I am looking for suggestion on a battery charger I can use for my 2-3 battery bank system that I will be using 5-6 weekends a year in my fish house. last year I was running a two bank system and could get 7-8 hours of use before the batteries fell to 50% charge.
I do not understand what you mean by a "2-3 battery bank system". We need more specifics on how this is actually wired and EXACTLY what kind of batteries you are using.
Last year I used 2 deep cycle wet cell batteries (group 27)from my boats trolling motor. This year I upgraded my RV battery from a group 24to 27 and plan to add that to the bank to have three batteries total

I am currently using this power converter
That is an INVERTER not a converter.
My bad, I meant INVERTER

I did purchase this charger last weekend but am not sure I care for it. It does not show the amps going into the battery as it gains charge. Instead it only shows the percentage the battery is charged.
Buy a digital multi meter with a built in amp clamp like UNI-T UT210E
Two 6V golf carts batteries, wired in series to make 12V, would probably be the best solution.
I know that would be the best option, but this allows me to use the batteries I already have without getting into another investment. When these fail, I will probably look into the 6V batteries.
