The short answer.....depends. As an example do you think that a person that uses there rv twice a year or two weekends a month durring the summer or is full time has the same charging needs? Or a RV park hopper and a boondocker? There isnt a converter out there thats a true battery charger(some are better then others) And alot of cheaper solar controllers cant do the job correctly. Do you REALY believe that the manufacturer who designed tested and built the battery dosent know whats best for it? You know MEX is right the battery hydrometer will tell you the truth. I suggest you use it. In fact just an hour ago i condemed a 2 month shy of a 5 year old kirkland battery using a hydrometer...its a handy tool.

I'm not trying to second guess the manufacturer, to the contrary my question is around putting out the effort/expense to do what the specsheet is indicating. Time and resources are not in unlimited supply unfortunately.

The solar charge controller I use (sunsaver MPPT) has adjustable setpoints that should keep the trojan's happy, I just need the meterbus adapter to connect with the software to update the settings. Sounds like it would be great insurance.
