Magnetek and Batteries June 15, 2000, 04:43:07 pm Yahoo Message Number: 267I have a Magnetek 6300 Q and dual 6V Trojan batteries ('99 26.5 RB) and have a couple of questions:What's the best way to keep these batteries healthy? (no solar, yet) Change chargers?Why does this converter/charger always hum or buz?I've heard/read that these Magneteks are not the best converter/chargers and will actually ruin batteries if left plugged in - no antisulfation cycle, etc....Thanks in advance for your comments!MikeO

If you plan to use hookups much, or use the converter as your main way to keep the batteries charged up between trips, I would invest in the Magnetek upgrade - I think it is the 7345 and replaces just the bottom module.We have solar panels on the roof and rarely plug in except to pre-cool the fridge. Therefore I have found no good reason to do the upgrade.Steve
