Another thing I'm a little confused about is deep cycle amp. charging. I was under the impression that these deep cycle batteries are not supposed to never get more than 40-45 amps when being charged with the exception of desulfation mode. This WFCO converter supposedly spits out 55 amps. Isn't that going to eventually fry my batts?
Joe, the 55 (or whatever) amp rating of a converter refers to the DC output for powering your lights, refer, etc. It is not the charging current.
Even tho its probably a joke for any Wfco to put out its rated output into anything, it is not unusual for a PD converter to put out its rated DC output into a dead.......even 50% discharged battery.
But then, w/o an ammeter in the system, how would you know that ?
All I care about is amps. Amps is what charges a battery, not volts.
