i won't debate Pd versus other converters
BUT you can't have BOTH constant amps and constant voltage
to have constant amps voltage has to rise ''probably to a dangerous level'
you have a set constant voltage and amps will taper as the battery charges
Yes, that is what I like. Set 14.8v on the charger. Constant amps while battery voltage rises to some level (14.2 say) then amps taper. Battery voltage continues to rise as amps taper till battery voltage is close to the set converter voltage of 14.8 and amps have tapered to near zero. Now reset the converter to 13.x voltage depending on the temperature. (13.2 for 80F , 13.8 for 50F, etc)
EDIT, you can also set that initial voltage per temperature. EG, if the battery spec wants 14.8 at 80F, then set 15.2 if it is 35F and the batts are "outside" ( not AGMs inside where it is warm).
