Getting to that magic 14.8 v with an RV Charge Controller

Hi all, there have been some really constructive discussions in a number of threads in the past couple of weeks regarding battery voltages. The threads have a re-ocurring theme. Get your batteries...

Has the PD been redesigned? I haven't seen any PD that goes into constant current mode while in boost.

Constant current mode means the converter outputs rated current until converter voltage climbs to 14.4V (rated voltage). Only at this point in time current tapers.

The PD's I've seen slowly (perhaps in 1 to 2 hours) creep to 14.4V. The converter never outputs rated current for any duration.

The OP should verify charging current. Don't need to charge for hours by gen if it's not at rated current.
