The charger also equalizes and desulfates. I replaced the 2 12 v batteries when I bought it with 2 Trojan 105's, they lasted 4 years the 2 Sam's club batteries replaced the 105's 10 years ago and still going strong which I attribute to better maintenance using the equalizing function of the charger. You can still use your exiting converter/charger (and not change any wiring) once you get home to fully charge the batteries if it has a constant charge feature or maintenance mode.
If I'm not getting enough voltage during bulk mode due to wiring issues, can I use my car smart charger on jump start mode ( 75 amps)for a little while? Read only a couple posts about this. Not sure it is safe or practical
