Multiple Chargers
I’m traveling and the charger has failed. Until I can get it repaired I’ll buy and use a standard auto charger. Have you used multiple chargers on a battery bank or do you know which ones work in that...

All this reading has caused me to get off my lazy hump and re-install the PD9280 that we disconnected and removed when the Magnum MS-2012 was installed.
At 116V AC I only get 80A output. The remote display is also a design/cost tradeoff as it measures the AC input to display the DC amps output. At 116V input with 80A output the display says 100A DC! I have measured this and Magnum has confirmed the design/cost tradeoffs. In fact I thought I had defective equipment but Magnum indicated that it was working as designed. Your MS-2012 appears to have a little less "design/cost" tradeoffs.
Otherwise the Magnum inverter/converter is an excellent unit.
Hopefully I'll soon get input from Magnum regarding my repair options.
