My reason for replacing my converter/charger was to go with the SMART MODE Charging technology to be able to re-charge my battery bank with a DAILY three hour Generator run time period and to provide enough DC current to give 15-20 AMPS of DC Current for "EACH" of my installed batteries in the battery bank to use when being charged.
My current three each 85AH 12VDC battery bank draws around 52 AMPS DC current when my PD9260C Converter/charger unit first hits them with 14.4VDC Boost charge mode. This is what makes my battery bank re-charge to the 90% charge state within three hours of smart charge mode charging.
At the 90% charge state I can use my battery bank for at least 12-14 cycles of 50% to 90% charge states and not do damage to my batteries. After the 12-14 50% to 90% charge state cycles then I have to do a complete 100% charge state which takes around 12 hours for me to complete and not do internal harm to my batteries.
