Floating vs Storage Voltage Question
Moved this from another thread to open the topic generally. Question was if PD converters with the 13.2 storage voltage were compatible with floating voltage specs at 13.5 and above. ---------------...

Battery specs that have "for cyclic use" 14.6v and "for standby use" 13.6v "Float" don't help RVers who do some of each.
An RVer wants to know what to do between trips. What is "between trips" called? Float or Storage?
There is no 13.2 in the battery specs (except that one from US Battery) If you are supposed to float at 13.2, why do the specs say Float is at 13.6? Trojan says don't do either if your between trips time is over a week (Wets) or over a month (AGMs)
If you go out and turn on the fridge a couple days before leaving, and it needs 12v to run that, and you have an inverter/charger, how are you going to supply the 12v? So is that your start of the next trip instead of when you actually leave?
If you are on 13.2 with a PD and go out there between trips and turn on a light, it jumps to 13.6. Does that ruin everything? Are you allowed to use your RV like a regular person or not? Phooey.
