    Converter issue

    It is next to impossible to check 12 volt systems without a multi-meter. Best idea to take it back to Walmart. But you still don't know why it failed.

    Recommended battery charger

    A smaller charger, as 40 amp opposed to 60 amp, will charge the bank. It will take longer. Charging sources need to be able to return the energy used. As john listed, the Pronautic-P is a very good charger with a support team located in the USA. It is the same engineering as the Sterling...

    Is the salt cooling method a myth?

    Salt doesn't lower temperature. It allows the water surrounding the ice to be colder than 32f. The water salted, or not, will never be colder than the ice you are using.
