You have really gone beyond the need for a DC to DC battery charger.
Log,
Most of the charging is done via solar.
When I am on shore power, I use a Magnum inverter charger with temperature compensation. The remote for the Magnum allows me to adjust charging voltages to meet my needs.
Any charging I get while traveling is incidental. It would not be adequate to my needs.
If I intended to fully charge while driving, I would get a dc to DC device. They are far cheaper than an isolation device. Then I could easily meet Trojan's suggestion of 14.8 volts to fully charge one of their lead acid jars.
Somehow I get the impression that your Magnum charger and your system is OK and you have fully charged batteries, but my charger and my way of determining full charge is inadequate or wrong.
Why is that?
