Adjusting a Magnatec 950 converter
I have an old Magnatec 950 converter that is slowly losing its charging voltage. 11 years ago it used to charge at 13.6v or so and is now down to 13 v. can these old converters be adjusted? Manual say...

With nothing else on except converter/ charger,how many amps would actually go into my 2 6v GC batteries at 50% SOC at 13v? at 13.5 v?
Good question- I think I have a current/load graph around here for that, but they spec it at 12 volts full load (50 amps), 14.1 volts no load (zero amps) so my guess is that at 13 volts you might get ~25 amps and by 13.5 volts it would be just a few amps.
FWIW, this is near identical to one I lived with for years- never had any issues while on the road, then would get home and boil my battery dry :( The only way I had to kill it was to have a pipe break and pump 55 gallons of water (the first 6 gallons were hot) over it. Noticed it was real quiet, then noticed the light getting dimmer and dimmer :)
