Onboard Charger vs. Smart Charger
So I have the standard WFCO 8900 series charge/converter (I believe it's the 45 amp model). However, I have a "smart" charger that I prefer to use. It just seems to do a better job charging and mainta...

You can use one, or the other, or both at the same time.
If you don't want to use the WFCO, flick the breaker that feeds the converter portion.
I'm curious what size 'smart' portable charger you use in place of the 45a WFCO.
It's a Sears Diehard "microprocessor" charger/maintainer. I don't know. It works better at maintenance than the WFCO. I see 13.6-14.0V way more often on the Sears charger. Picked it up on sale a couple years ago. It's a 2/8/20/30 amp charger w/an 80 amp jump start feature, which has come in darn handy. Can't tell you how effective the equalize/desulfate mode is, but it does send 15.5V into the batts. and seems to keep them going.
Regarding flipping a breaker to disable converter, I'm not too sure which one that is.
