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.

no with my renogy I can customize a three stage set up (well 4 stage if you count equalization but I just set that to my storage voltage as it doesn't have an off feature) so I didn't pick a LI and modified it when you do custom you have to set up full 3 stages so I have it set up to charge to 100% at 14.4 then I drop to 13.6, but I have a second profile for when I get home and I am storing it between trips where it will charge to 14.6 on bulk then drop off to 13.0V which will let it discharge down to 50% before it charges again as nothing is really on at home and normally it doesn't charge between trips till the day before when I bring the battery up to 100% for the trip. the 3d stage I just set the same as the 2nd stage as it isn't needed and I do that with equalization also as you cant shut it off.
