I am not a super expert on elixer but I think the converter itself is behind those fans.
Remove elixer, insert PD. No need to replace the distribution panel.
Yes pull the whole business out so you can see the wires and it will all start to make sense. Unplug and disconnect the battery before you start. Mark polarity on anything disconnected.
#8 wire to the battery is adequate, #6 is much better. If pulling wire you want #4 for the entire battery loop including ground connections.
If you buy from Best Converter, Randy can also help with the technicals. He has seen them all.
Just don't let him sell you a different converter.
Well this just might make it MUCH easier!
As for pulling wire, either I pull DC wires forward to the battery to charge or pull DC wires back from the converter to the distribution panel.
Thanks!
Now to figure out the fan on the hood and those couple of LEDs. I think if we are going to upgrade to the dual 6v GC batteries that we'll look for some DC fans that we can let run for extended periods.
Someone already suggested 120v fans, but we won't have 120v most of the time, and I think an INVERTER would be inefficient compared to native 12v fans, right?
