Yes an intelligent converter will charge the batteries at various rates as they reach full charge and revert to "float" (aka Storage) mode when full. The better question is does your 2008 have an intelligent charger or not? I *THINK* the 2008s were still using the IOTA DLS 45 converter. Later on, 2010???, Montana moved to a Progressive converter which was intelligent. You need to confirm which converter you have. Even if you have the IOTA, it can made into an intelligent charger converter by the addition of an IOTA IQ4 module (a simple $20 plugin). Clicky

Thanks. I just plugged in my year and model on Trekwood's site, and it *appears* that my 2008 came with the Iota DLS-75 which appears to have the 3-stage charging, but I'll pull the panel next time I'm out at the rig and make sure.
