WFCO Converter/Charger won't go to Float
My son's 2017 Cougar fifth wheel is headed out on a long trip, so we went through it getting everything ready. First problem was fried batteries, two six volt golf cart batteries. He hadn't watched th...

Here is what WFCO says (and like howardwheeler above, no 13.2):
"First, if your battery burned up just supplying 13.6 vdc to it, there was a problem with it such as a bad cell. A good battery should not have an issue with a constant 13.6 volts being supplied to it.
With regard to the Float mode, if the load current being supplied from the converter is 5 Amps or less for 44 hours, then the converter will drop the output voltage to 13.2 vdc. Once in Float mode, any rise in output current draw above the 5 Amp level will cause the converter to go back to Absorption mode (13.6 vdc.). To go back into float mode again, the process would start over.
