never saw a wfco with pendant
i had a wfco deck mount with 'boost button' on the face of the deck mount
it worked,
i overheated and fried the wfco, but it was my fault
i was on shore power, and plugged and electric heater into inverter feed outlet
inverter running 1200w heater, wfco trying to supply inverter and batteries
No.. I know I dont have the pendant.. The wfco is going into boost mode IMO..
Im getting 40 amps of so..
What im wondering is what amps are the guys with the pendants getting on thier PD brand converters..
I ask because I too may of drank the cool aid to upgrade my wfco converter when its totally un neccessry..
The wfco seems to work as designed and why waste $200 upgrading just so I can see 14.4 volts with my tester.. ( Do any on the pendant guys actually see 14.4 volts?)
Its my assumption the wfco holds amps longer and the PD's taper too quick... Seems the wfco will always win...
No you are not in boost.
You will see 14.4 volts in boost and the amps will remain high for much longer and charge the battery much faster. 14.4 is like a rocket compared to 13.6 volts.
With plenty of good solar you may not ever need boost.
