You really need a Boondocker that you can crank up. It will do 14.78 (on my meter) in the regular mode and you can adjust it higher if needed. I'm playing with one now and it's fantastic so far. I've cut off my solar to see how it does by itself but don't think there will be any conflict when I join them.
Just set the solar charging voltage to about the same 14.8 and they will add their amps. The total amps will still be whatever the batts can accept. Once that gets down to what the solar alone could do, then there is no need for the other to be on.
Just curious, since the websites are not fixed up yet, but is your new 1260 something like this, with the two holes in the side, or does it have the external knob for the pot?
http://powermaxconverters.com/product/pmbc-12-volt/The spec sheet for that one says 14.8 where the LKs say 14.6 but the manual for this one says 14.6 too. They are supposedly cleaning all this up. :(
