PD 9260 how long to charge?
I've heard that people with the PD9260 (or similar) use the pendant to force the charger to stay in boost mode (14.4V) while running their genny. To get Max charge with min gen time. Ok, but how do...

I have an ammeter in series with my 115AH marine battery. When the ammeter drops to 5A, I turn off the genny. I think this is better than checking the battery voltage, but is similar since the voltage change is basically due to the resistance of the converter to battery wiring.
That's why I replaced the OEM #8 wire with #4.
BTW, I don't believe that running other 12v equipment while charging the battery will increase the charging time unless you exceed the 60A rating of the 9260 converter. The converter will put out more current while maintaining the 14.4v it sends to the battery. That assumes the converter to battery wiring is feeding only the battery.
