Hello. This system isn't vehicle mounted but this charger is for RV's so I thought maybe you guys know. What battery voltage or logic does the PD9270 use to go into boost mode?
As of now I am letting the system drop to 12.0 volts and then starting the generator. The system goes into "normal" mode (13.5 volts) which means my generator will have to run forever in order charge the bank back up. The system has a passive constant draw of 35 watts so it drops to 12V over a few days if the solar can't keep.
When using the system in person with a constant 500 watt draw or so, I set the generator to start at 11.8 volts and the PD9270 always starts in boost mode.
Do any of you know what the actual voltage has to be in order for boost mode to be activated when power is applied to converter? I sent an e-mail to PD but have yet to hear back. Is it strictly voltage based? Etc.
Thanks!
