Before we had our new RV Solar installed I had never heard of a Converter Charger, and I surely wasn't worried if it was a Smart Converter Charger or not! Here we are 6 months later and oh how much we've learned. After tons of research on my basic questions: "What is a Converter Charger?", "Why Do I Need a Converter Charger?", "What's the Difference Between a Regular and Smart Charger?", and "How Many Amps are Needed to get the Best and fastest Charge for my RV Batteries?" Here's what we've come up with on why you should get to know the very important, yet rarely discussed, Converter Charger. Let's begin with a simple description: A Converter Charger is a device that Converts 110 Volt AC (household) power into 12 Volt DC (battery) power and simultaneously charges the RV batteries. Simple enough right?  Well...nothing beats a good old school flip chart comparison!  Go ahead, click play. What did you think?  Did you learn anything new or should we just use the flip chart as fire starter?
