When we are camping without utility electric hookup, I plan to do daily battery recharges, 50%-80% SOC, with a Mean Well RPB-1600-12 (rated for 100A) powered by two Honda EU2000i generators (paralleled).
When we get to a campground with electric hookup, I will fully charge the batteries and then do a "Top Charge" with the Mean Well RSP-320-15. It is rated at 321W (21.4A at 15.0V) with adjustable voltage 13.5 - 18V. I plan to adjust the voltage output to 15.0V, and charge the batteries until they get to 15.0V.
I never understood the term "top charging". Sounds like you want to use an unregulated 2-stage charger for offgrid and on-grid charging to Absorb, and regulated 1-stage charger for 15V "equalizing" when you get to campground with hookups. Otherwise, if you don't need to EQ, why not using that 2-stage charger on hookups again.
Upgraded 2-stage converter should be able do the former. Yes, this other Minnie could do the latter.
