Batteries will bulk charge at about 14.8V and taper down to 13.4V for float charging. 13.6V is OK. The charger, house loads and battery are all wired together and have basically the same voltage.
From many posts on these boards the WFCO is junk and will not bulk charge your batteries.
Appreciate the feedback and I am certainly planning to replace the WFCO unit. So if I replace my converter board with the direct replacement PD 4655 unit, my voltage to my lights, etc in the house will change from ~14.4 to ~13.6, down to ~13.2 as the charger runs through the stages, correct? Wouldn't that cause the lights to change brightness?
Apologies if I am being really dense.. I have just not experienced a change in voltage to the house lights, etc except when I unplug - and I can tell a big difference between 13.6 and ~12.6 on battery alone.
