I see 3-tons also disconnects after his batt bank is full and if on shore power, he runs on LFP batt for 12v and shore power for 120v, even though he has a PD converter that can sit at 13.6 doing the 12 v while also floating the LFP at 13.6.
One complaint with the Dakota Blurb is he says a normal charger will only charge an LFP to 80% and then shut down. What weird "Sales" talk is that? He explains it, but it turns out he is not talking about any "normal" charger/converter at all. Oh well--"Sales" has its own rules ("all's fair in love and war" )!
