Newer Converter Synopsis Summary
The total number of various models of converters discussed is mind-numbing. Partially "yes", conditionally, and riddled with caveats, make answers virtually unintelligible. Here is a single simple ...

Another way? Have two converters, one being a 100 amper adjustable voltage, and the other being a lower amp adjustable.
Put both on the battery bank with the 100 amper set to your chosen Vabs and your oft-recommended external timer on the 120v input. (You have to figure how long it will take to get the batts to Vabs and then add your Vabs time to get the total timer run time.)
You set the second converter to your chosen float voltage, no timer. This will be doing nothing while the higher voltage one is running, but will "come on" as though automatically, when the first one stops so you don't have to be there. The amps size of this one can be very low, more like a battery maintainer size.
