Coincidink!! We just got this one - Sangean-MMR-88-Emergency-Flashlight-Smartphone Charger Weather radio . Just last week ahead of our cross-country trip. And for the same reason as you did. So far, so good - well it seems to work as described. We had an Eton weather radio a few years ago and it was utter junk. We'd be interested in comparing notes.

Do you know how your 30xhs bulk, float, and equalize voltages compare to what your converter/charger puts out, or your solar charger if you have one?

We use the factory solar controller and/or the factory PD-4050 controller for normal charging, and a Vector 1089A digital battery charger for equalization. Peak voltage in that mode is 16.2, temperature compensated.

First time i have seen that charger. I have a Battery Tender brand on my tractor it's been working good for a few years now. it say's it will not boil battery's dry.

You're camping off circuit, but IF you don't do this, when the generator starts, it will think it's plugged into the wall socket and switch back to AC (from the generator) That's 3 amps of relief the generator...

I have a similar one to Gus and BMJ. It's a craftsman brand with an AGM battery and smart charger. I made a pair of custom 'jumper' cables for it: one set connects directly to the motor on the slide and one directly to the motor of the canopy; just in case... John
