PD9245C-14.8
I was trolling Best Converter and ran across a 9200C series doing bulk at 14.8v. Seems only in 45A for now. http://www.bestconverter.com/PD-9245C-148-45-Amp-RV-ConverterCharger_p_610.html#.VWPmaI9...

It's a simple modification to increase boost voltage from 14.4 to 14.8 or almost anything you desire. Pin #5 of the micro controller is connected to a 32.4KOhm resister - drop the value by several hundred Ohms and the Boost increases - Simply solder a 60KOhm across the resister in question.
Do you happen to have any pictures of this modification? I am going to purchase a pd9270 from best converter and would like to be able to charge my Trojan batteries at their recommended charge rate of 14.8.
You could just as well get the adjustable voltage 70 amp PowerMax Randy sells and set it to 14.8 or whatever you like. (EG, at 32F, 14.8v becomes 15.2v to get the same results as 14.8 at 80F) Adjustable is the way to go!
Also the PowerMax 70 amper is PF corrected so it doesn't take as much of a generator as the non-PF corrected PD 70 amper does.
However if you insist on the non-adjustable converter version, you might want the PD with its Charge Wizard instead of the PowerMax depending on what charging profile you need. "It depends" (as usual)
IMO it is a "no-brainer" to get the adjustable voltage converter that can do it all with less generator required!
I like your idea as well and yes its a no brainer, however the powermax does not have any way to force it to the bulk charge mode or even have an LED/indicator that shows what charge state it is in.
