I too read some of that but BESTCONVERTERs says this about the PARALLAX 8300 series...
"8300 Series
Parallax 8300 series (formerly 7300 series) are single-stage output converters providing a single voltage output of 13.8 VDC to the DC system for load and battery charging.
For a more modern multi-stage upgrade, consider the Inteli-Power 4600 series or the Ultra III. These units will vary the voltage output depending on the State of Charge of the house batteries for faster charging and will greatly extend battery life."
Gotta go with Randy at BESTCONVERTERS...
I guess what we are seeing is the 8300 is the Power Distribution center and you need to make sure what the Model Number of the converter/charger unit is that sits inside the 8300 Distribution Center.
X2 on Need more info needed... You certainly do not want to have a single mode 13.6VDC converter/charger unit...
