[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 584070, member: 1414"] Are we being conned, is a DC DC charger necessary? If we test the voltage output from our vehicle's alternator we may discover it is a waste of 100's of $$$'s. If your check reveals your alternator is putting out 13.6-13.7 Volts, purchasing and fitting a DC/DC charger would actually limit the charge rate too your auxiliary battery/batteries. Have had 12+ years relying on the alternator while travelling and solar while camped up. The caravan is on its second set of deep cycles the first purchased in 2008. My feeling it is an expensive, unnecessary "toy for boys?" Can someone agree or disagree with this? [/QUOTE]
