Converter vs Battery charger
In this corner we have the Progressive Dynamics 55 amp PD4655 weighing in at 10 lbs, running through 15 feet of 4 gauge cable. The owners manual said that the PD's boost feature should only be used to...

I wish somebody would make a converter/charger/powersupply in a relatively compact package which had a temp sensor, a voltage pot for ABSV, a timer to hold ABSV, and a voltage Pot for float.
Imagine that, a tunable automatic charger, as opposed to a 'we know what is best for you' algorithm.
Seems the regular options are PD 14.4 max. no thanks.
or the PM Reach 14.6v then instantly goto 13.6v, no thanks
14.8v, but exceed 105f ambient, and it shuts down.
Screw all these converters. Not one of them comes close to what my batteries need/want.
Maybe I should have the option feed my solar controller with a 15v 25 amp power supply. At least my MPPT solar controller allows for voltage adjustments and durations, and I'll never need more than 25 amps if I have grid power.
