PD or Iota for my upgrade?
I'm thinking about a converter and battery upgrade. The batteries will be wet cell lead acid 6 volt Possible T-105s or the 230AH, EGC2 from Sam's club. I'll probably go for four. (Does nayone have...

The problem with the PD is that when in boost it will not supply rated current. It never supplies rated current because output voltage is unable to rise to 14.4V. .....

This test does in fact disprove your statement. The only caveat beaing that the power supplied must be optimal, and anything outside of that will impair performance. But the fact is, that under all conditions tested the current was <92% of rated, and therefore your statement is incorrect.
And Sal, with all your posts, you are well aware (I am sure) that it was a loaded statment, as voltage will not rise if max current is being delivered.(As it is being current limited at max, no matter what mode it is in) It is only at a particular point along the charging curve, with a certain load, that current and voltage will max, because below which either current will be limited by it's set maximum, after which voltage will creep up as current drops to maintain output, followed by voltage being regulated. So the issue of not getting max current at max voltage is only relevent during that "cross-over" point of the charging curve. Which I might add can be a very brief period. But the point is the same, the PD delivers most of it's rated current at >14.3v.
