power max is top of the line.
I don't know about that.. I have been looking at it and I see a lot of mixed reviews and their power factor is commonly referred to as being bad. I do like the fact that you can fine tune the top voltage but I wish you could tune the 2nd stage independently.
With some solar controllers you can program everything. Why hasn't anyone done this for converters yet?

Do you have one? I don't think the adjustment holds for the multistage. I read PM is either fixed voltage adjustable or preset multistage.
We just purchased a new 75a Powermax. The unit can be switched to operate as a single-stage charger (i.e., power supply) or 3-stage charger.
There's a very small pot that adjusts voltage for *both* the single-stage mode and the *bulk* stage when in 3-stage mode. It can be adjusted from 13.0 to 16.5v. Comes from Powermax preset for 14.6v. Haven't confirmed it yet, but I believe the float (13.2v) and absorption (13.6v) voltages remain fixed and are not changed by this pot.
