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

Yep, it depends on intended usage whether replacing the pot with a 10 turn one is worth it.
Right now i have my set at 13.93v. Battery monitor indicates 0.0x amps are flowing into the fully charged AGm battery, but the watt meter I put on the MW output indicates it is making 6.71 amps to power my TV and this laptop and fan and lights. I could run my laptop AC adapter but don't bother.
Next time I discharge it, I can plug it into the grid, put voltage to ~14.46 to 14.9v and then hook together the 45 amp anderson powerpoles and 40 amps will flow from it. When amps at 14.4x volts taper to 0.4 or less I will lower voltage to 13.8v or so, depends on temperature.
If I will be away when 0.42a at 14.46v is reached, I just set voltage to 13.6 to 13.8v and forget about it.
I'm not using a generator, I've got time whenever I plug in. Any automatic plug and play would be good enough for me, but I prefer more control. There are times when times that 120vAC is limited and a premature drop to 13.8v would enrage me.
