Does anyone make a decent converter with a temp probe? If not then adjusting by hand is doable.
The Parallax with Temp Assure has that but is based on 14.2v nominal instead of 14.8v, and is expensive in comparison.
Here is how to operate the PowerMax LK. (para 10) You need a small screwdriver and a flashlight to see what you are doing with the screwdriver. You put your multimeter probes in the set-screw converter DC output terminals set for "12v" voltages, and set the voltage with the pot.
It will hold that voltage forever until you change it. Now you connect to the battery bank with say #4 short wires, and good to go.
