To answer some of the questions,.....hook them in parallel,.....less chance you will run them down beyond the 50% rule.
If you use more power than 50%, charge them,...one way or another, even if connecting jumper cables from TV.
Then, replace the converter, one way or the other. A PD9245 can be had for around $129 off ebay. and it usually includes the remote pendant to control the charging stages.
And last of all, a 1000 watt generator to power the PD,.......or a couple hundred watts of solar to give the batteries a fighting chance of living a longer life.
RE: The PD9245 is not the one Progressive Dynamic recommends as a replacement for the WFCO 8955 which I'm replacing - that one is the PD4655. Does that matter or will any converter work?
That model is about $80 less than the PD4655 which is the PD recommended replacement. Off eBay I can get the PD recommended replacement unit - PD4655 for about $250+$60 - or about $100 more than the PD9245. Amazon.ca has them for similar prices and better warranty service. Or I can get a WFCO 8955 for about $175 from Amazon.ca
Considerably less than RV shops around here.
