Problems with Boondocker 60 amp converter
Having issues with this converter, won't do more than 13.6 volts, ever.

I thought the Iota seeks 14.8v and only holds it for 15 minutes before dropping voltage and charge rate.
I liked the PD9245 for its ability to allow one to choose the charge voltage by pressing a button.
I personally prefer more manual, hands on approach and use an adjustable voltage 40 amp power supply. I hold absorption voltage until amps taper to a certain level, and then reduce voltage to the proper float voltage for the battery at its temperature.
It would be great if there was an affordable automatic plug in charger which could accomplish this, but all the 200$ or less RV converters have various strategies in how they seek to top up a battery.
I would not like a converter which does not allow one to choose a stage/voltage. An automatic converter which does not seek mid to high 14's with depleted batteries is a failure, unless one never/almost never unplugs from the grid.
