We compare the forcing related properties of a complete Boolean algebra B with the properties of the convergences $\lambda_s$ (the algebraic convergence) and $\lambda_{ls}$ on B generalizing the convergence on the Cantor and Aleksandrov cube respectively. In particular we show that $\lambda_{ls}$ is a topological convergence iff forcing by B does not produce new reals and that $\lambda_{ls}$ is weakly topological if B satisfies condition $(\hbar)$ (implied by the ${\mathfrak t}$-cc). On the other hand, if $\lambda_{ls}$ is a weakly topological convergence, then B is a $2^{\mathfrak h}$-cc algebra or in some generic extension the distributivity number of the ground model is greater than or equal to the tower number of the extension. So, the statement "The convergence $\lambda_{ls}$ on the collapsing algebra $B=\ro ((\omega_2)^{<\omega})$ is weakly topological" is independent of ZFC.
