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

"Seems to me that members of this "Battery frying club" just want to discuss and argue all the junk converter/chargers on the market instead of investing in really good chargers"
Such as my Belden? it's only worth $21,000 at today's prices.
Like I wrote earlier, some people can screw up a solid steel ball with a feather duster. For them, an automatic-undercharger is a no-brainer. guaranteed to not come anywhere close to fully charging a battery when generator charging never mind 'frying' them. Wotta hoot.
I've owned many vehicles that cranked for less than three seconds, even when first starting the engine in the morning. The engine was operated long enough to replenish the power extracted, the alternator provided plenty of amperage to allow for -never- using the battery even in traffic. When no air-conditioner is used, temperatures remain incredibly moderate (0c to 25c), a good quality battery can last decades. Before nearly-new 130 dollar Energizer Maxx decomposed, my Tode had the original factory battery, for 12-years and new cars are not noted for being equipped with top of the line batteries. The car also had factory tires, had factory Champion Spark plugs until last year (TWENTY YEARS) and still has the original radiator hoses and heater hoses.
Big Deal. This is utterly useless bragging. In Igloo Falls, Minnesota, or Chandler Arizona, the car would have been lucky to go four years on these parts. Bitter cold -operations- are hard on batteries while scorching hot conditions are murder incorporated. So comparisons and especially bragging, are futile.
