Whats makes the WFCO jump to 14.4?
Wonder if my WFCO is starting to go bonkers. Yesterday it went into 14.4v charging mode. I can hear my fans get louder and then confirm voltage with a small voltage display. No biggie. Today i hea...

I can't speak for every WFCO converter. The one I observed worked as follows.
- Converter startup, (AC power applied)
- Converter attempts to supply 13.6 volts at its output.
- At 7 seconds after startup, if output voltage is 13.2 or less, boost mode is entered
- Boost mode continues for 4 hours
The wimpy wiring in most RVs makes it impossible for a low battery to pull the converter output down to 13.2. The converter isn't defective. It's that the converter design and RV design are not compatible.
