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...

"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. "
? The battery voltage will rise toward Vabs all the while the current is constant at the current limit of the charger. At some voltage, current will taper. Actually battery voltage appears to continue to rise a little, due to reducing voltage drop from the charger's voltage as amps taper. Only when the battery is full at no amps flow will battery voltage equal charger voltage.
