PD9245C-14.8
I was trolling Best Converter and ran across a 9200C series doing bulk at 14.8v. Seems only in 45A for now. http://www.bestconverter.com/PD-9245C-148-45-Amp-RV-ConverterCharger_p_610.html#.VWPmaI9...

A flash formula is to achieve absorbsion limit (I prefer 14.8) as fast as possible then maintain it there until all battery cells start to bubble lightly, then back off to an intermediate voltage, perhaps 14.0 volts. The bubbling will subside at the lower voltage, but when it resumes, drop the charge rate to float.
Voltages must be adjusted for temperature.
HAVING NOTED THE NUMBER OF MINUTES IT TOOK AT 14.8 and 14.0 the timing of the 2-step absorbsion charging can be repeated if the batteries start from the same level of percentage of charge remaining.
TIME!
Hours or minutes is every bit as important a component of battery charging as voltage level.
If you don't mind the generator running and running none of the above matters.
I used to camp where tourists could visit. Invariably I would get visits: "How can you charge your batteries so quickly?" Easy. I do not like suffering having a generator run endlessly. Solar panels were not an option. Park in the shade to avoid 120F interior temps.
Converters are in love with Power Post connection. Having a dingle/dongle/wizard/proboscis selectable between CONVERTER and CHARGER with a menu program adjustable by the user would be of interest to me.
