If you don't want one, fine. To say they're not really a charger, though?

Hi Jared,
I think we're all on the same page...it's largely just a question of semantics. A converter converts AC to DC, a charger charges batteries, and converter/charger combo unit do both. I think the large majority of modern converters have a built in charger. My old converter has a built-in charger as well, but it's small and inefficient to use with my
generator. I assume the converter you have is a Progressive Dynamics PD4045. Sound about right? This is what I'm leaning toward getting as well.
BTW, thanks for the great thread on your 5er. It has given me lots of great ideas for updates to mine. I'll start a similar thread once my mods really get under way.
