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. ...

I drew battery down to 12.1, started charging. Started out 13.3 then 13.6. Amps were dropping; first 51 then down to 35 still at 13.6. So apparently not enough to get to boost mode. Unplugged from shore power, all lights turned on now and will get down to 12.0 or less before trying again.
Pendant ordered and will be here Tuesday.
I only get 58 amps (and 13.65 VDC) of initial charge current in bulk/boost mode (batteries discharged to 20-30%)--2 amps less then it's rated output. It drops down to 30 amps (while voltage increases to 14.03 VDC) after one hour--still in bulk/boost mode. FWIW, if I force my PD9260C into absorption mode (charging the same batteries at 20-30% SOC) I get approx. 1/2 the charge current I normally get in bulk/boost mode, approx. 30 amps initial charge, 15 amps after one hour.
