WFCO Charger/Power Supply
My friend has a WFCO WF-8930/50 Power distribution Questions: 1. Is the output charging power fixed at 13.6 or does it move to 14.4 for bulk charging and taper down? 2. Will the parasitic loads...

If I hit my low batteries during initial charging with the microwave/inverter the WFCO would boost every time. Yes the hurdle is to get voltage at the WFCO terminals well below 13.2 volts. Virtually impossible under normal use.
The WFCO will therefore chronically undercharge any deep cycle flooded or AGM battery. While camping the recharge will be very slow and tapering off above 65% charged. Need to run the generator 4 to 8+ hours.
Unless solar will be doing the charging, I recommend replacing the WFCO if camping off-grid.
My experience as well. Didn't believe the bad press about them totally until I got one with the new camper last year.
If we camped more or knew I was going to keep it a long time, that WFCO would have been in the garbage dump already.
