Best Stand Alone Charger?
Hello All, I just upgraded the single 12 volt battery on my hybrid travel trailer to dual US Battery 6 volts. I purchased a Boondocker "smart" converter/charger to install into the original Elixir ...

The green light started flashing about 2 hours ago, indicating that the batteries are at 80% or better. I just pulled a reading of 14.5 volts at the BT terminal connectors. So it appears to be working. Once it goes into float mode, I will disconnect, let them sit, and test again. I figure I'll check electrolyte levels, then put the TB back on for float, and battery maintenance, until the next trip.
I also figured I'd check electrolyte levels once a week, when I drag the lawn mower out.
I haven't gotten to the Boondocker install yet. However, I am off tomorrow, and will get that done as well.
Just so you don't think I was ignoring what I am sure was sound, and knowledgeable advice, I somehow missed the 5 amp minimum suggestion until after I had already purchased, unpacked, and began using the BT.
Thanks again,
Jeff
