Adjustable Voltage Boondocker Converter Question
Do Randy's new adjustable boondocker converters have the initial 15 minute boost feature? thanxx!

So what you're saying is, by running the pm for 15 minutes, with no load attached, could cause the thermistor to warm up enough that when the load is applied, the thermistor could blow? That would not be good :(
However, when the 15 minute thing ends, the unit actually stops outputting for a couple seconds, and then resumes. I always know when this has happened because the Honda's eco-throttle reacts accordingly. This does not blow the thermistor... so perhaps it is only a disruption in the 120Vac power that causes the thermistor to blow???
I would think it would be no different than the converter sitting idle, while plugged in to 120Vac pedestal power, and then suddenly having to output whatever current necessary to meet whatever 12v load is applied; be it the battery bank, or a 12v appliance.
