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

Takes a while before most solar systems could get a battery upto absorption voltage, but solar contribution can certainly cause an automatic charging source to decide to not go into bulk.
Depends on the time of day when one fires up the converter/generator and the sun upto that time. I find that 3 hours of sunlight then starting my power supply at 14.8 will not allow it to max out at 40 amps, but it depends on the depletion level.
When I use my Automatic Schumacher and Meanwell in parallel I have to bump the Meanwell upto 15.3 volts in bulk stage for it to max out at 40 amps along with the Schumachers 25 amps. And i certainly have to start the schumacher first as anything over 12.8volts and it just goes into float mode.
But Start the schumacher first then meanwell bumped upto 15.3v, and it's ~65 amps into a depleted 90AH AGM battery, depending on DC load at the time.
