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...

Again, as much as Wayne tried, he can't charge his batteries with 60A. The current tapers before converter voltage gets to 14.4V. If the converter was in regulation, it would increase its output voltage to maintain 60A. That's how converters work. Current should start to taper after 14.4V is reached. Not before!
If it tapers before 14.4V, then it's operating out-of-regulation, or open loop. Output voltage and current are undefined.

Wayne Dohnal did that test. The converter load was a roll of copper cable. The PD output 60A at 13.4V. His 60A PD could not do 60A into his batteries. The current tapers.
If the charger outputs 60A at 13.4, then it doesn't matter if it's sending that current into a roll of wire or a battery.
