o.k., thanks... I was just curios how being adjustable would effect it's overall use.
I have no need for, or experience with converter power. My bus is only 110v wired; powered by inverter/shore/gennie power. The fridge controls and heat fan/pump are 12v wired directly to batts, but the sink/shower pump is thru a 110v to 12v 5a converter plugged in to a standard 110v receptacle.
So it would work like any other converter when set to a suitable battery float voltage, but what are the standard operating voltage ranges of most 12v devices, such as 12v lighting, etc. ??? Would a 14.8v setting damage such devices? I've been curious about this for some time, now. How does the converter serve its intended purpose when it's charger feature is doing it's thing?
Thanks!
