Parallax series 7300 converter question
I was wondering if anyone knew off the top of their head if the Parallax series 7300 convertor is a three stage unit? I have a family member with this converter and isnt sure if the trailer can remai...

The Paramode has the temp comp sensor right at the ring terminal that goes on the battery post at the end of the long wire from the TempAssure part on the converter chassis.
The only difficulty is routing that wire from converter to battery in your rig if there are things in the way. I had a deck- mount up by the batteries, so that was easy. But the units they also make that replace the original converter under the fridge or someplace back in the rig would need that long temp comp wire routed out to the batteries somehow.
Inverter/chargers with temp comp seem to have the wires too. That just leaves some solar controllers with temp comp mounted on the solar controller itself, so unless you have the solar controller in the same ambient temp situation as the batteries it can cause problems. (That becomes easier if yours has a remote display that can be inside the rig while the controller is outside with the batteries (but not in the sun and rain either.)
We won't talk about how I stuck the Paramode's temp comp wire sensor ring terminal in some ice cream to get the charging voltage higher :)
