Rerouting Converter Connection
Been thinking about rerouting the 12V output connection of my PDI 80 amp converter to reduce voltage drop when in boost mode. Current configuration: Converter (rear of coach) -> 12V Power Panel...

PD converters are famous for not being able to maintain voltage in boost mode, if the battery bank is hungry.
Even my Magnum charger with rather large wire and a 3 foot run shows voltage drop when the jars are low.
of course they would show lower voltage if the battery's are low, you either charge by current or voltage.
if the charger is maxed out current wise and is limiting the amperage, then the voltage will not rise until the battery's fall under the current being limited. once the voltage limit is reached, current will keep reducing.
wouldn't matter if you use a wire the size of a telephone poll. i never had trouble getting my 9245 to run at 45+ amps when the battery's were low
