Input appreciated.
My house batteries died, so I'm moving my dry camping setup. It consists of 4 group 31 AGM deka batteries, a magnum ms2812 and a morning star duo 25 amp solar charger controller.
My thoughts are doing away with the factory converter and batteries. That being said am I correct to assume that all I need to do is move the wires from the factory converter to the Magnum and unplug the factory converter?
Presently when I am charging two separate battery banks off the genset I reduce the shore power setting( on the Magnum) to I believe 20 amps so I don't cook anything.
After the swap out I'll leave the Magnum Inverter set at 50 amp shore while charging on the genset and my truck will be changing when on the road.
I plan to leave the factory converter installed but not hooked up.
Pic 1. my deka agm batteries.
Pic 2. Magnum MS 2812 Inverter and battery bank box.
Pic 3 is my sub- panel and morningstar duo controller for my 220 watt solar panel.
Pic 4. The emptied out factory battery box.
Pic 5. A mess left by the factory.lol
Pic 6 . Factory battery box and storage box removed.
I will also have better cooling air from the two vents in the door as my Magnum does put out some heat.
I just started this about two hours ago. Hopefully no glitches.
And a side note: my batteries that died we're 9 years old ! Deka group 31 the usable.
