The converter is a Progressive Dynamics pd4045ka.
It states that the output is 13.6 which is what is consistent with what my multimeter shows. When left on shore all day the batteries seem to max out at at 12.6
This one? http://www.progressivedyn.com/all_in_one_pd4000.html
This should have the Wizard controller for 14.4, 13.6 and 13.2 volt charging. Unless it is an OEM version that needs to have the Wizard added.

Battery Tender Plus is an excellent maintenance charge that can be left on continuous. So let it run. The output amps are low so it will take an extended period to charge.
Ya, that looks like it. So pushing 13.2 volts for prolonged periods of time won't burn out the batteries?
My first set of Interstates I left the camper plugged into shore power, battery switch on and the converter appeared to burn out the batteries
