Hey Matt,
Wanted to ask about your 45 AMP Boondocker Power Converter.
It's been about a year now since you installed it and I wanted to know if you have ever seen the unit go into boost mode of 14.6 volts during your travels? I have only seen my 45 Amp Boondocker (same critter) go into boost charge mode 14.6 V for about 10 seconds, a couple times, then switch to the 13.6 volt normal mode for a few hours, then switch to the 13.2 volt mode.
How has yours behaved?
Yes, I finally had it go to the full 14.6 on my way back from Ohio towards Oregon when I was in temps of 15 degrees or colder on a number of nights, the Boondocker did kick up to full charge after a long cold night of running the furnace to keep it warm inside. It stayed there for as long as I had the generator running, I don't know how long it would have stayed as I shut it down and got underway before the converter could do a full recharge and ended up doing the bulk of the charging via alternator.
I did suck the batteries down a fair bit that night as the furnace was running a whole lot.
