Rogue MegaWatt 30Amp bulk charger.
Been using my Megawatt 30 amp PSU now for over a year with the fine adjust pot, when mxwanderer suggested a 500 ohm 2 watt 10 screw potientiometer to replace the rather touchy one screw micro pot. ...

Sounds like you have a great project, and this will be helpful to others wanting to adjust their voltage upward!
As for me, I have a Trace M1512 inverter/charger with max 70 amp output. I fid that if over 45 amps, then the cooling fan must run, and that the battery can get warm if I am charging over 50 amps! Not wanting the battery to heat to much, I keep mine at about 50% max charge rate. Actually I normally let my 400 watt solar panels do the charging!
This will work great to quickly charge a dead car battery. Just be careful - in that 14.8 volts will quickly start to boil away water once the battery is full, and overcharging.
I met Jeff many years ago when he was working for a TV station, and I was working on their antique air conditioners in 1985. He is a great guy, I saw him again in Quartzsite about 10 years ago. I was new to repairing HAVC back in 85. I would probably do a much better job of repairing that stuff now.
Good luck,
Fred.
