Need Battery Boxes?

[Outback 325BH]

I just leave my RV plugged in. The converter is a smart battery charger and keeps the batteries in tip-top shape.

Outback, can't keep the trailer plugged in when I'm boondocking. thinking i might need a heavy duty charger hooked to my generator to top-off my batteries quickly. Not sure how fast the on-board charger could charge up these batteries if it's as slow as my home charger.

Generally, the converter has high-amp ability to do what you need. If you boondock a lot, more battery capacity and a better converter are normally the first upgrades.

If you have and use a generator, plugging your camper into it and letting your converter charge the batteries is the easiest and best way to go.

I have used a variety of Battery Tender brand chargers over the years with great results. I bought this one from Costco on sale for $30 a few weeks back.

I leave my two, 6V GC batts in the trailer and let the converter charge them while boondocking and keep them on a float charge while stored at home. The smart converter does a good job. I topped them off with the BT individually before installation.
