Great posts!
I'm back to low amperage slow charging as I'm part time now. Details of the system are in my signature.
I did notice an anomaly as I traveled north from Florida.
In Florida, with voltage and a temperature probe on the battery bank, the rate of charge would be 0 volts.
As I came north, to colder temperatures, that number went up--and this morning after being plugged in for 13 hours, charging rate was about 8 amps. Ambient temperatures was 3 F (-16 c).
I deliberately use the inverter to cook during the day--as I knew I would have shore power overnight.
I'm starting to wonder if I should bump up the voltage on the Magnum.
Alas I did not note the charging voltage in Florida--or along the route. I guess I missed an opportunity to "tweak" things.
