Power Max BPCM Converter/Chargers ???

Assuming these do not have a multi-stage charge function, how will these function as a converter, if adjustable voltage? Would one have to leave it turned on, and adjust it to say 12v when not charging, so it doesn't perpetually charge the batteries? Or would you be best to set it at say 13.2v for perpetual floating?

Thanks!

To act as a converter, you would set it to some battery-like voltage so it could power your 12v rig. If the batteries are connected, you would want them on the proper float voltage for the temperature.

In practical terms, you need to mount the unit where you can get at it to twiddle the knob, so that can be a limitation. I use mine as a portable charger so I have not had to decide where it could go if it were used as the converter. Mine has a handle on top too, which might be in the way and have to come off.

The on/off switch it has would be handy if the unit is your converter and you want to run the inverter whole house so you need to turn off the converter.
