converter output voltage is 13.2 volts minimum. A good converter has three output levels: 13.2, 13.6 and 14.4 volts. Battery output voltage is 12.7 volts maximum. Electricity flows from higher voltage to lower voltage. In other words, the converter will supply all power needed for lights, etc. And will maintain battery charge.
A lot of confusion results from reading trailer life magazine. The info put out by the so called experts is crap. Converters do not "kick in". Batteries cannot be charged and supply power at the same time. Batteries do not power loads when on shore power, etc. My qualification is a degree from purdue university in electrical engineering a long time ago. Yes, i know. Our football team leaves something to be desired. Hi norty!

Now that's strange. It looks like an unkind post to me with a time stamp of 11:20 last night was deleted. Too bad I received it in an e-mail before it was deleted. Reminds me why I seldom bother to try to help in forums.

I saw that last night. I'm sure one of the mods took it down and gave the poster a little talking to. I was gonna respond to it but it was gone before I could. I also read it in my email.

In used to. After 50 years i have had enought. Retired. Turn on a light is a close as I get. LOL
I've been working with electricity since grade school. It wasn't until college that I learned how much I didn't know about it. I'm still learning and enjoying it.
I could have saved a lot of time and money if this tee shirt had been out back then.
