Parallax Converter

[pasusan]

Hi - we have a new(er) RV with a Parallax converter - series 7300.
Can I leave this plugged in (charging the battery) 24/7?

In our trailer we had a WFCO converter and I replaced it with a Progressive Dynamics and I leave it plugged in 24/7.

I'm hoping the Parallax is better than the WFCO and doesn't need to be replaced.

What say you?

No, the Paralax is a dumb charger and will eventually boil the battery dry.
I learned this one the hard way! Boiled my battery dry and ruined it.
The only good thing about the 7300 series is the full current rating is available to charge the battery but only at 13.6V so it wont even do that very well.
Do what I did and replace it with the PDI you spoke of. Keeps batts happy during long storage periods.
