The first upgrade I made on my coach when I bought it three years ago was to replace the original "buzzbox" with an Intellipower PD9130 converter. It works great but I've been frustrated sometimes trying to keep the batteries up with the generator while dry camping. I know that solar and more batteries are the ultimate solution but I'm considering replacing the PD9130 with a PD9160. After reading Jerry Work's comments about his experience with a high amperage converter/charger (70-80 amps?) I'm concerned about pushing 60 amps through what I believe is the original cable from the utility closet to my two 6v golf cart batteries in the generator compartment.
Will I need to upgrade the cable or is it adequate?
Anyone else using the 9160? Does it charge the batteries substantially faster (ideally twice as fast) as the 9130?
