Hi
Even better may be a boondocker converter:

I'd look closely at the Iota line as well:
http://www.bestconverter.com/DLS-Series-12-Volt_c_144.html this charges at a maximum voltage of 14.76 with the "IQ4" module.
Make sure the wire from the converter to battery bank is capable of the maximum current output.peirek wrote:
I am starting to lean towards the following upgrade:
1) Upgrade converter to PD 4655 MBA ($193.00). This will enable bulk mode charging (14.4v).
Always welcome critique and opinions.
You don't get a Charge Wizard with the earlier standard Boondocker/PowerMax converters. You would want a previous adjustable voltage model or the new standard PowerMax "LK" model that is replacing the older model.
The LK has adjustable voltage from 13-16.5 and that makes it way better than the Charge Wizard with its limited voltage options.
bestconverters is not showing he has transitioned to the new LK models yet. You can get the PM3-LKs on Amazon
The PM3LK will always be 13.8 volt max on the 4 stage mode. Just got a Boondocker and it's 14.7, up from 14.6 on the 4 stage mode and has the adjustable lithium mode as well. When I talked with them, the PM3 will always be the toned down OEM model and not the hotrod for the aftermarket that bestconverter has.
