Higher voltage for EQ, top charging, finish charging or even just regular charging. Most here that are using these power supplies are fed up with converters (which castrate the charging process) that don't get the job done. Those features you listed are mostly found on very expensive inverter/chargers. Some of us don't want to spend that kind of money for just a few simple adjustments (a voltage pot doesn't cost that much). Not to mention, most of the inverter/chargers top out at 15.5V for EQ. As discussed in other threads, a number of people here seem to need 16V to make things happen and these power supplies give them that capability without breaking the bank.
This bears worth repeating. Based on needs, and if you've dry camped a bit or been off the grid, you quickly find out the mettle of a charge converter on a generator to be not much. Hence seeking out these awesome alternatives.
