Magnetek 6300 Series Converter Note this page is under construction, please check back later. I recently did this upgrade. My coach battery was not being charged. And the 6300 was at times supplying as low as 10.5 volts dc to the coach. It killed my battery. After doing the retrofit the coach now has a steady voltage of 13.8 volts. The battery is being supplied with a float voltage of 13.8 volts. I also replaced the battery with a Lifeline AGM type. With a regulated voltage all that is needed is a charger that can supply the amperage the battery wants for recharge. The only battery that I could fit in my Sunrader is the GPL-24. The battery box just would not take the larger size. Even so this battery will supply an 8 amp discharge for 8.7 hours. Click on a thumbnail for larger picture. |

| This is the main power unit. |
 |
| This is the diode assembly and heat sink. It consists of only two diodes creating what is known as a half rectifier. |
 |
| This is the solenoid that switches the coach 12dc power between the 6300 power and the coach battery. It is a component that often fails. Ether the solenoid itself fails or the switch fails. The switch can partially fail where as the internal contacts become pitted and covered with carbon deposits. That creates a high resistance across the contacts which in turn creates a voltage drop. |
 |
| I think this is the voltage regulator and battery charging board, Very basic in its design. |
