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 output voltage slowly creeps up to 14.4V. This is not normal when current tapers.
I really have to thank you for the effort you put into this post. (for others - it's back a few pages and includes multiple performance charts.) It gathers together the best data I've seen all into one place.
I completely agree with you that the output current should not be tapering down at the same time the output voltage is creeping up.
Your Iota performance chart shows what it should look like. The converter should increase output voltage towards its boost voltage limit until it either reaches that voltage or runs into its maximum current limit. If it didn't reach the boost voltage limit, it should hold the maximum current until the output voltage has climbed to that voltage limit, and then current should taper.
If I see the same thing happening in my PD9280 that the Fisherguy chart shows, it will give me a solid problem to investigate. There's no reason I should see anything different from Fisherguy, but if you'd asked me how the PD worked, I would have predicted the performance shown in your Iota chart.
