Ok perfect. When I got my sound system installed they installed the batteries at the same time. I don't know what the stock converter is, my concern was the original converter wouldn't be sufficient for AGM batteries (previous house battery was a lead acid deep cycle) so I bought a 40amp converter but never got the time to install it.
They did however install two switches, one shut off the connection to my amp/sound system and the other switch which I'm assuming is a shut off switch cuts all power to my house lights/solar/etc.
So in theory if both those switches are off, I should be fine right? My only concern is if I do plug into shore power when both those switches are off it may still charge my batteries and I could run into trouble. (I apologize for my ignorance of how electrical currents work)
