Adjustable Voltage Converter ( Brag)
Now have my latest toy, a modified PowerMax PM3-55 for the 5er. I have it wired to the inverter next to it in the front cargo bay all near the batteries. It does not do the usual "stages"...

For best results with the 60 use #4 cu wire, not too long. As a portable, the wires need serious clamps. Clamps come with amps ratings. I like the heavy parrot style.
I used the chassis ground lug for a strain relief as shown here on my 100 amper with heavy wires (#2 cu-al). The set screw terminals can't seem to hold stranded wire very well, especially the silky cu-al kind. Actually, if you had those metal adaptors on the wire ends that fit into set- screw holes, then the set- screws could grab them tight enough so you wouldn't need the strain relief.
