My 16' Forest River Palomini TT comes equipped with a converter by WFCO (Model: WF-8735-P). The specs say Converter output = 13.6V (Includes charging and load). This is of course when hooked up to shore power. My readings across the battery terminal wires (disconnected from the battery) with a multimeter confirm 13.6V. It is not a two-stage charger. Question: is this enough to charge my battery (100Ah)?
I presume it would be if installed in the camper for this very purpose - but others tell me it has to be more like 14.4V or more. Thoughts on this? and what could I do if seemingly inadequate?
PS - this whole fishing expedition comes from the fact that I just can't seem to get my battery fully charged and have ended up ruining good batteries. I have a new one again and don't wish gto make the same mistake.
