These threads string out so much that "Out Of Context" should be a forum anthem. One moment it's chatter about the needs and wants of a Power Pedestal Princess, the next it's hard-core generator boondocking.
A "RV'ING TODAY" lifestyle where a rig goes from pedestal to pedestal can use just about any modern multistage "converte" successfully. And a lot of Folks RV this way. But leave the receptacle behind and thungs start to change fast. From costume ball hilarity to US Navy Seal Hell Week.
Some folks simply do not care how long their batteries last. Others play camp at A Wal Mart parking lot and then boast "I never do anything to these batteries and they work just fine. What is the BIG DEAL?" you betcha. Great service out of a damaged battery that ran the lights four hours and has 44% of the original capacity. I remember forty years ago parking a car at the Sahara Tahoe. Walked inside. It was winter and nearly deserted. I wandered to the dollar slot machines. Looked them over. Chose one on the end. Slipped the coin in and yanked the handle. BAR-BAR-BAR. I took thex150 dollars and left in a big hurry. Now a person could say that was blind stupid luck or Sahara Tahoe's slot machines -must be loose-.
So ot is with converters and batteries. But when someone really tries but cannot recharge the batteries in his rig with any converter on the market is the BS detector. He knows his furnace run-time is being short changed he is holding a battery hydrometer that proves the batteries are nowhere near full yet the seventy-nine cent chip inside his miracle converter is screaming FULL! FULL! I SAY DON'T BUG ME BUSTER READ THE LIGHTS OR THE CRAWLING DOT MATRIX MESSAGE!"
For some folks the magic converter never is wrong. Now whom I ask you does not have a firm grip on reality? This is where a realistic band-aid had been missing until the Megawatt came along. It has it's place in the scheme of things. If somone came to me today and said "I"ll give a hundred thousand dollars forca hand's off battery converter thar really charges to completely full" I would have to say "No thank you". I would stand a better chance finding a one -shot slot machine.
