Rerouting Converter Connection
Been thinking about rerouting the 12V output connection of my PDI 80 amp converter to reduce voltage drop when in boost mode. Current configuration: Converter (rear of coach) -> 12V Power Panel...

Drew,
Good point. I hadn't taken that into consideration when I thought about the indicator light. Was just thinking about the lights that show when a fuse is blown, but that is full 12V.
Don,
If I measure the voltage at the converter terminals and then at the battery terminals, there is a 1.1V difference when the batteries are low. That has to be due to the length of the wire and possibly some resistance in the disconnect contacts. Can go with a bigger wire if #4 is not sufficient. Using a PD9280 converter.
