All of that just to say....
A 'converter' can also have a 3 stage 'battery charger' function.
Bulk.......14.7V DC
Absorption....13.8V DC
Float.....13.2V DC
But that the 'charger section' will actually provide the full 12V DC system with the higher 'charge' voltages when in 'charge' mode.
Fortunately.......fridge/water heater/furnace etc. have a wide DC voltage operating range. And your lights will be brighter when converter is in 'charging mode'
SO......your point is :H
