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

While I do not remember my whole conversation with Errin as it was 5 months ago, I did ask about the thermistor issue and was assured they had solved it with a burlier part.
When I spoke with Errin just after Randy, at least he didn't try and tell me that the depleted batteries could not accept more than 75 amps, or practically call me a nitwit liar by saying my group 27 Northstar AGM couldn't accept over a hundred amps from my alternator, when depleted when I have the tools and desire to test,observe and measure such things.
Errin said send it back and we will sort it out instead of trying to convince me Black was white. The sorting process was time consuming, but part of that was It was not on my Dime, but a friends', who had/has a lot of other things going on, and my friend does not know a lot on this topic..
Right now the Adjustable 100 amp model and a non adjustable model, still in the shipping box, are sitting side by side on a bench, and I am not sure what is going on regarding getting the non adjustable model back to Powermax or the shipping costs refunded for shipping the original 75 amp model back, which was sold and labelled as a 100 amp model.
When somebody tells you are wrong, when you know you are not, yet they claim to be an expert, and are just a salesman with apparently little understanding of the product they are promoting, well.... I simply do not trust salesmen.
I wish I could have more confidence in recommending the Powermax adjustable voltage models. I've another project where such a model on a timer could really make the final design shine in performance, but instead, am just going to mate a Lifeline 31 to a PD9245, and hope one likes the other.
Perhaps I am a voltage control freak, but my taxed and delivered 127$ and slightly modified Meanwell rsp-500-15 does exactly what i tell it to, and can push 40 amps into any lead acid battery I care to hook it upto, and hold it at the desired absorption voltage for as long as I decide. It has also been perfect as a converter too. Powering all loads while holding my AGM at 13.61v.
It would be great to recommend a product which does not require modification to others seeking the same level of control required when one is seeking ideal battery longevity, and not just a 'one size fits all' compromise.
Powermax should really seek to sort out the discrepancies in their amp flavored models, and have a much better website with more information on their products, and make it simple to order the desired product.
I personally do not like speaking with strangers on a phone. I want to see the product I desire on my screen, and click 'Add to cart' and have it at my doorstep in a week, not jump through a bunch of hoops and middle men and recieve something different to what I ordered, then jump through a bunch more hoops to actually get what I ordered and have my intelligence insulted along the way by a salesmen middleman who should not be insulting anybody's intelligence.
