PD9260 Convertor Never Goes To 14.4V
If I am NOT on shore power, draw batteries down to 12.3 or 12.4 volts, I assumed that when I plugged back into shore power, my PD9260 would start putting out 14.4 volts, or at least something close. ...

With discharged batteries (12.1 - 12.2 vdc) I've found initial charge current with my PD9260C to be roughly 25-30 amps in absorption mode and 55-58 amps in bulk/boost mode. Huge difference.landyacht318 wrote:
It takes time for battery voltage to catch up to converter voltage.
When I set my meanwell rsp -500-15 to 15 volts, then attach it to the battery. The voltage at the mw terminals drops to mid to high 13s and battery voltage is likely a volt under that.
Where are you measuring voltage at?
A clamp on dc ammeter is enlightening. Voltage is deceiving.
I am measuring voltage where the battery cables enter the PD9260. I have 2 other monitors, one of which came with the trailer (with the idiot lights for the tanks) and also a Trimetric 2030 monitor, measuring at the battery.
