PD9260c 13.48 volt charge instead of 13.6?
Just got my new PD9260c converter installed. Checked my battery voltage before plugging in, 12.67 volts at batteries. Plugged in the 9260 and got a reading of 13.48 volts at batteries. Manual states i...

All wires have some resistance. The voltage measured at the battery will be the converter voltage less the voltage drop in the wiring between the converter and the battery.
This voltage drop depends on the current flowing in the wire. Ohms law can tell you what the voltage drop is. Ohms law --- voltage = current x resistance. So a current of 10 amps flowing in a wire with a resistance of 0.1 ohm will have a voltage drop of 1 volt.
