Parallax Converter
Hi - we have a new(er) RV with a Parallax converter - series 7300. Can I leave this plugged in (charging the battery) 24/7? In our trailer we had a WFCO converter and I replaced it with a Progress...

Excellent ... both of those AGM batteries appear to be designed to be safely floatable on the fixed voltage output of a 73XX converter.
Being AGM, you might find that they also charge fully reasonably soon on only your converter.
Phil, I understand your point that they might accept more amps at the 13.7ish voltage from being AGMs vs Wets. But--- their spec is clear that they should be recharged at 14.5-14.9, so that means using a different charger.
I suspect it is the same as with Wets for this, that you need those higher voltages to get as much sulpher as possible out of the lead-sulfate and back into the acid.
I know you get yours down to where they won't accept any amps at all, signalling that they are "full." What would happen if you could then raise the voltage to 14.8? I am thinking they would accept amps again, and taper those to a "true full." Unless your particular AGM specs say otherwise?
