Can etrailer.com Generator and Power Converter Charge 12 Volt RV Battery Bank

Products Featured in This Question



Question:

They are wired in series to get 12 V. I'm just trying to find out if I need a generator with an inverter. We keep our camper plugged in to house power all year when not camping. The batteries were bought in 2007 and are still in good shape putting out a constant 12.5V. We are going to be taking longer trips this year that may involve some dry camping and the dual fuel generator should work if it doesn't conflict with my system.

Do you have a voltage converter to take 12 volts down to 6 volts for your golf cart batteries? Or are they wired in series so that they have an output of 12 volts? I know sometimes golf carts will use odd voltages so I would need to know that first since everything we offer can only work with 12 volt setups.

So the etrailer.com generator part # 333-0004 with your Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # PD9260C will do an excellent job charging your battery bank since it's wired up for 12 volts. For a 30 amp extension cord to go from the generator to the 30 amp plug on your RV you could use the part # A10-3010EH and you'd be set. You'd use this to connect the generator to the outlet on your RV and it would charge your batteries just like how house power charges it currently.
