Plugging the trailer in will be much faster, and from what I read it takes days do "cook" batteries with the stock converter.


Superat stultitia.

Would one way charge faster or keep from over charging? I'm talking just re-charging, not running anything.
The 2015 sport manual says it includes a 3-stage converter/battery charger. Since this supply can deliver more current than your BatteryMINDER, you'll charge your system much faster by simply connecting your generator to the trailer's shore power inlet and let the trailer's converter charger your batteries. Make sure your battery disconnect switch is in the On position to ensure that your converter will charge your batteries.
