upgrading power converter
My power converter has apparently bit the dust, lights flickering for past couple of years now no charge to batteries... Anyhoo, we do a lot of dry camping, where we need to daily boost the batteries...

55a on 300ah is a 18.3% charging rate. His goes a bit longer in bulk per charging rate because my ugly graph was done with Vector chargers, which start tapering at 14v while his goes to 14.4.
However, Vectors do not hold their voltage during stage 2 such as at a 14.4Vabs, but the voltage rises slowly from that 14v point to 14.6 or 14.8 by the end, so that holds the amps up during the absorption taper. I have a graph of that somewhere back about page 5 give or take of this thread, comparing a 103a PM3-100 with 105a worth of Vectors doing a 50-90.
