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?

Really ??
Pray tell where does the current GO when you suddenly have a healthy 12 V source capable of delivering say 300 amps is connected in parallel to one with a couple of shorted cells producing only 8 volts and maybe 200 amps ?? 100 amps will go somewhere. Where will it go ?????
If connected in series.....NOTHING HAPPENS except your power supply is weak.
If connected in parallel, way MORE than nothing happens.
Discussions like this just proves the adage about everybody having an opinion......and most of them stink.
