Using alligator clips, I connected a 79 ah AGM battery that lives on the tongue of my travel trailer to the 12v/10a XT90 output from the AC200 (battery was disconnected from trailer). It charged the AGM back up, using a steady 13.5 volts, and continued lowering the amps until it was fully charged, then stopped on its own, no faults, and everything seems fine.
Is this okay?
I am concerned that directly connecting the 12v/10a output of the AC200 to the AGM battery may harm the AGM battery.
For context, I am trying to have my AC200 connect directly to the DC side of my travel trailer, bypassing my converter (by removing 40 amp battery reverse polarity fuses). Converter draws 72 watts at minimum! (This is the reason I am disabling the converter). The AC200 inverter would power the AC side of my camper through it's existing shore power input, and the AC200 DC output would power the DC fuse box.
I have not considered any repercussions with the truck hooked up, with it's trailer trickle charger feature.
