Using WFCO 75 amp to charge batteries
Can you use a WFCO 75 amp converter to charge a car battery? It would be the same as using it in the rv wouldn't it? I'm guessing also it is a one stage charging source of 75 amp charge. Thanks fo...

The WFCO 75 is really designed as a power post power supply unit for your travel trailer while being hooked up to a pedestal in an RV park. That means what it does best is runs the lights, fans and water pump in your rig, since it has a constant power supply. As such, it really doesn't do much recharging of batteries, or does so at a very slow pace.
A better solution is to.... wait for it... buy an actual battery recharging device for car batteries, like a battery recharger. That should come as no surprise. Buy a battery charger, not a Power supply for an RV parked at a pedestal. There is a huge difference, a manual battery charger will put out up to 16.0V at low amps, a WFCO will never put out that kind of voltage. Yes, you do really need that kind of voltage on a flooded lead acid battery to fully recharge it, otherwise a battery recharger wouldn't provide that kind of voltage.
