Parallax converter problems
My 2008 Hideout was maintaining battery voltage at a lower level as we traveled, by the time we got home and put trailer away it was barely keeping them at 12 volts. Checked batteries, cables and clamps, all OK so started looking at how batteries are charged and found output from Parallax 7155 unit would only put out 12V and sometimes not even that. I can get a new charging unit, but before I do, would I be better off using a different brand or model? THis looks to be the original, so it has lasted 12 years but if there is better equipment that will fit in the cubicle this one came out of, I would look at upgrading.
Another question-the 120V hot wire had another wire bonded to it to share the breaker, that went to a wire nut tied to 14 ga romex out the back. The picture of replacement unit showed a similar bonded wire-anyone know why?
Thanks,
