This solves the issue of overcharging especially the chassis (starter) batteries while plugged in at the camp site or when you are equalizing the house batteries (which is deadly to the starter batteries).

Interesting. Do you have some documentation that says this? I have not seen in any forum, that the Progressive Dynamics 4655 conveyer/charger will hurt the starter battery when it automatically goes into the equalization mode. If it is deadly to the starter battery, I would expect to see some evidence of that in Thor products that have retrofitted PD 4655s, since I do not believe that the BIRD will close the Trombetta when the starter battery is fully charged. I have not seen any evidence of starter battery damage in mine, nor is it mentioned in any documentation I have from Progressive Dynamics.
