My question is - if i want to use 12v DC power while charging my batteries, can I plug in the shore cord and battery charger at same time to basically do the same thing that I'm doing when I plug the shore cord (I don't have an inverter/converter, just basic converter) with just a 2k genny?
Also how do I charge both batteries at same time with one battery charger, and additionally the shore cord plugged in. I know I have 2 outlets on genny -1 for shore and 1 for battery charger, but does the charger allow charging of 2 batteries. If my batteries are wired in parallel, would I be able to just hook up to one?
Yes you can use both the converter and a portable charger at the same time. I would start the portable first then plug in the RV main cord. Otherwise NO issues, no need to disconnect anything. Just slap that portable on direct.
Yes leave the batteries in parallel. The RV system and the portable will charge both together best.
Continue charging for at least one hour after voltage reaches 14.4 volts. I hope that portable is at least 10 amps.... 40 amps would be best.
Even better is to replace the converter as described above.
