can any newer, automatic battery charger be used for to keep the coach 12 volt running? Or does a person need to look for a cheaper (possibly something from Harbor Freight) charger?
Remember this is all theoretical. My charging system is working fine, I'm just thinking things through.
My thought is I have seen warnings on battery chargers to not use them as a power supply. I have also seen other chargers that shut off if they don't like something about the battery. So I was wondering if people have experienced a charger that would not work as a power supply because it was too smart, hence possibly necessitating the need for an older dumb charger.
