Interesting...
I have a gen, 2400 watt, and a kilowatt meter.Id like to do a test to see when this comes out of constant current and into constant voltage.. How would I know.. The wfco wants 980 watts AFAIK...
And as stated my wfco may be in a constant current mode, but at no time do I see 14.4 volts anywhere. As in my first post I show voltages at batts and converter..
Its clearly dropping out of 14.4 constant current mode at some point... but when?
As far as the pd,s the few you tube vids I see show the higher voltage at the converter, but I believe in those cases the batts are pretty much fully charged..
So its vids like this that I have trouble with..
7:45 mark.
This guy states his 4 6 volt batts were down 12.2. He says he used his old converter as a test ( wfco) and was getting 11 amps. Converter 20 ft away.
Then he states he plugged in the new PD converter and was getting 27 amps... ( LOL converter is 2 ft from batterys)
Then he states he pushed the wizard button and got 40 amps..
Trouble is these PD's would go in boost without pushing the button ( with 12.2 batts) so his video is flawed..
