I'm going bonkers trying to figure out why I would pick one inverter/charger over another. Many of the features look the same, although high end seems to feature temperature compensators.
To be honest, I'm not even sure what the temperature compensator is compensating for. The batteries heat from voltage or the ambient temperature. :huh:
So clearly from the low to high price point, I'm looking at these 3, based on what I've read, and several people whom I know who have purchased each.
PowerMax PM4B-60 (60 Amp 4-Stage Converter/Charger)
Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power Converter Charger 55 Amp PD4655
Magnum Inverter/Charger 1000W/50A MMS1012
Generally higher price is suppose to be associated with quality. Outside of customer service, what is the reason I would choose the Magnum unit over the Progressive Dynamics unit?
Am I missing something when comparing specs on these.
Any help is appreciated, I currently have the Parallex 7335 that according to receipts was replaced in 2009 by the PO. And I'm pretty sure it murdered the cheapo Walmart batteries he had in the trailer. And I don't want to ruin the new batteries I just bought.
If this matters, I know that for the first wish months we'll probably be staying at places with full or at least partial hookups. But I know when we get out West we are going to want to boondock a lot more. And I plan on adding upwards of 400watts of solar, not sure if that will be before we get on the road, or when we are on the road. But I am planning for it, and setting money aside. But I'd like to get the converter issue sorted before we get on the road.
Thanks guys. :)
