What is the most efficient way to charge batteries with a generator? Is using the 12 volt DC charging cord connected directly to the batteries any more efficient than plugging the camper power cord into the generator. Why? Just curious. Thanks in advance.
The converter probably has more amps but may not have a high enough voltage. 12v cord has the voltage but only 8 amps.
You can replace your converter to get both voltage and amps. Post the existing converter model number for best answers.
