The one and only "BOOOOst Button" that really works
That boost button doesn't even work when camping with plenty of other things to take up your time.
Set It and Forget It should be the goal of battery charger designers.
I sure wish Parallax hadn't discontinued their converter design such that every time it was powered up it's output automatically went to 14.X volts for 4 hours and then switched back and remained at 13.6-13.8 volts after that if it was left continuously powered. IAW, a built-in 4 hour timer with each turn-on without one having to turn a timer knob. If one wanted to force it's 14.X volt output anytime, all you had to do was switch it off at the power panel and then immediately switch it back on.
That Parallax converter model line would have been very close to Set It and Forget It for today's AGM batteries that specify 13.5-13.8 volts float and 14.X volts for cycle service.
It was probably ahead of it's time because back then lead acid batteries - liquid or AGM - with a specified float voltage of 13.5-13.8 volts weren't widely available, if at all.
