Converter/batteries
https://carriage-lifestyle-owners.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3999
Posted: 1:17 PM – Oct 02, 2018I currently have an rv with two group 24 12v batteries connected in parallel. I am using a DLS-55/IQ4 converter. I am considering changing my batteries to two 6v golf cart batteries connected in series. Do the connections for the converter to batteries need to be changed from the current configuration? I was surprised to find my group 24 batteries bubbling quite actively while connected to the converter as it is a multi stage converter. I thought that it would only charge heavily up to a certain point then taper the charge down to preserve the batteries. The batteries are less than two years old and do not seem capable of holding a full charge. Is the converter overcharging? Is there a way I can test the converter to make sure it is functioning properly?Sorry this is so long, but I am concerned about my converter. I did notice that one of the 30a fuses was blown and replace both of them. What would cause a fuse to blow?
Posted: 3:02 PM – Oct 03, 2018Looking up your converter it said the smart charger unit was an option, so the may be why your batteries are boiling no smart controller unit installed. So for the 2 6 volt batteries you take a short heavy jumper from the positive on 1 battery to the negative on the other battery now you have 1 big 12 volt battery and now you can hookup the positive and negative form the camper like normal.Posted: 9:15 AM – Oct 04, 2018Thank you. The converter my unit has is the higher end 4 phase converter. IOTA makes several multi phase converters ranging from $162 – $195. Mine is the $195 model.B.W.Gentry
