ON a NEW WFCO 8955, at what voltage should

2 years ago I purchased a WFO8945 replacement converter from Randy at Best Converter.Did a complete wire upgrade from battery to converter with 4ga. welding cable. Converter would not go into boost mode.Called Randy and he asked me to call WFCO(he gave me a name and number) and explain to him what was going on and then call him back and tell him what the rep. said.Randy said he was getting a ton of returns because of this situation.Long story short the rep. at WFCO said and I quote "You're NEVER gonna see it"-boost mode.He went on to tell me a story about a test they did at the factory with something like 25-100 watt light bulbs and the converter would not go into boost mode. The whole conversation was almost comical because no matter what I said or asked they guy just kept saying "you're never gonna see it" I bought a Progressive Dynamics 4645 w/charge wizard and never looked back.The only knock I have with the PD is that it emits a lot of RFI and my stereo reception took a nosedive compared to the WFCO, but at least it works as it should.

I think I will keep my reliable and quiet WFCO converter with gentle (13.6V) daily generator charging and supplement converter battery charging once during a 2 week dry camping session with my Vector smart charger that will charge at a higher rate. That has worked for our camping style for 7 years.
