Need advice - batteries / convertor / monitor upgrade, 24 ft tow
? on: Today at 01:05:45 am ?
Hey, folks - mom & I bought a 4 yr old 24 ft Trail-lite for our anniversary.
Stock Batteries are shot (Centennial RV/marine batts DP24MFS / 650 cca... )
- garbage, I know -
Stock coverter = WFCO WF-8955 PEC 3 stage, cheap OEM...
Want to extend battery life, especially leaving all plugged in over the winter in a remote storage location without frying the (soon to be) new batteries -
Without breaking the bank, this is my opinion on what should serve - your feedback
Is most welcome.
New convertor =
Progressive Dynamics PD-4635 (or 55??) w/4 stage Charge Wizard
Battery monitor =
Trimetric 2030rv monitor
2 New batteries - ??? A myriad of potentially "ok" 12v batts are available;
Don't want anything "marine" (obviously), but should I really put out the bucks for gel mesh or lithium??
Thanks for your concise advice.
