Power converter in my Coachman Camper provides good voltage for lights and other 12V accessories, BUT-- does not keep the battery charged --- worked good last year. Converter is made by BW Manufacturers, Kokomo, Indiana and is Model # 6325- 25amp. Ideas??????

mine is model 3240 40 amp. seems like when my solar panel is connected to it it kills the battery's. I suspect my converter is not working right. My question if i can repalce it with a generic type of converter? if so what brand and model?

Opps, My mistake, its not Full-Wave , its Half-Wave,meaning they may have just not felt like spending .04 cents for an extra diode to make it Full-wave.

I Suggest u throw that Converter in the trash or have some one install the Capacitors needed to make it a normal 12 v supply. The output is just a full-wave rectified ripple with no Capacitors to flatten the ripple like in ANY normal DC supply.Its a POS.

I found that my power converter had the same problem. When I took it apart i found that the ceramic balast resistor had overheated and had to be replaced.

I can assume that you have checked the fuse line to and from the converter in relation to the charger. If they are OK then is more than likely to be the Charger side of the converter. You can replace the entire unit like for like or the internal charger within the unit can sometimes be replaced. You can also fit a stand alone charger plugged into a 240v socket, but will only charge whilst connected to mains
