Drew is correct...
Battery voltage needs to be below 12.4 or so for the PD to drop into boost mode.
Any standard converter, Iota, Parallax, Boondocker, Wfco, PD will be alive and watch the battery voltage even if shore power is not on. They all will switch to Boost when the threshold of low voltage is met.
To get most of these converters to get into boost mode you need to remove the battery and shore power and wait until the capacitors bleed off or turn on a light....
PD is one of the few that you can push a button and get the converter into any mode you want. WFCO copied this idea with their most recent panel mounted 89 and 87 series converters from what I have read.

You know... now that you mention it... that's all actually coming back to me now. I must have misinterpreted a recent conversation with you. Glad you chimed in to correct the record.
OK, well now it appears there's even less to be concerned about with these 14.8 units. Looks like I need to update a few posts!
