What size converter charger should I get?
Our vintage travel trailer doesn't currently have one, but it came with a marine battery that's rated at 85 Amp/hours. The smallest converter chargers I'm seeing are 35 amp. Is this small enough?

they pull numbers out the sky and when question say ' shut up ', the nature of forums. This thread has nothing to do with parallel or 12v vs 6v, but it pokes its ugly head out!
will have to wait for the links you requested ;)
Don't look for any links supporting any of it. There are none.
Batteries connected in parallel are no more susceptible to thermal runaway than those connected in series or series/parallel. 12 volt batteries are no more susceptible than 6 volt.
Deep cycle batteries are available all across the US in both 6 and 12 volt.
I would also like to see any credible link stating that 6 volt batteries are superior to 12 volt.
PS: Those interested in learning more about the care and feeding of batteries, I suggest reading "The 12 volt side of life" parts 1&2. For more technical information go to www.batteryuniversity.com
A wealth of knowledge is available.
