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...

Based on this post - http://forums.trailerlife.com/Index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/26139699/gotomsg/26355953.cfm#26355953 - and this post - http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/26139699/gotomsg/26357317.cfm#26357317 I believe in "Mod 3" you reduced the current limit from 80A to 60A by roughly halving the resistance shown at R15 in the '002 patent figure 2A. Did I understand that all correctly?
For WoodIsGood: he wanted to change the current limit during initial charging, with a switch. One way would be to add some resistance to the current sensor. . . . . Or, one could adjust the current limit circuit instead of the current sensor.
My goal is to be able to recharge my 2 T-105 batteries with my Honda 1000 generator when boondocking. I'm well aware I can't drive the converter at 80 amps with this generator; 40-45 amps is more likely doable. I want to modify the PD9280 so I can switch it between 2 modes. In one it will be throttled back and act more like a PD9245 so I can power it with the Honda. In the other it will retain its original capabilities and I can use my onboard Onan 4.4K generator to power it and do a faster recharge.
