It seems a plus of all this, is that if the battery gets a little bit discharged, and I charge it, the WFCO will likely go into bulk mode, and 14.4v is supposedly high enough to address sulfation, i.e., a little bit of time being charged at 14.4 is better for the battery than getting 13.6 all the time. Maybe. I think that at one time I had a real "smart" multi-stage converter that would hit the battery with 14.4 every so often simply for that purpose.
The converter I posted above always starts at 14.4
