Can I Add the NOCO Genius On-Board Battery Charger to a System with an Existing Charger

Question:
2016 Keystone Bullet 220RBIWE with a WFCO WF-8955PEC power converter. Is there a problem installing this charger into a system that already has the onboard converter/charger? It seems like the result would be two chargers, operating in parallel.

Expert Reply:
You can certainly install the NOCO Genius On-Board Battery Charger part # NOC44FR hooked directly to your battery bank while having the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger part # PD4060K which is a direct replacement for the WF-8955PEC. It can be used apart from the on board changer by simply plugging it in and not the shore power cable of the camper.
If you had your shore power hooked up I would not plug in the NOCO Charger. I would use one or the other not both. This could potentially create an overcharge condition causing the battery to be damaged or even to overheat.
I can see the desire to use just a charger if you didn't want to plug in the entire power panel but wouldn't use them in tandem.

If you have a battery disconnect switch is it okay to turn it off and use the NOCO charger while the TT is connected to shore power? Also any general preferences for the charger to be installed on the TT?
