Mainly don't need that much & don't want to wire for that much amperage. My original post has a link to another post that has a video that has a gizmo that has this ability. Also you can see other reasons why someone would want variable amperage charging in that post.Why don't you want 30 amps?
I really like @snoobler ! You are my favorite mod!If you increase the resistance in the charger output, the charger will see a higher voltage and begin tapering current on its own. In order to do this, you need to push the converter to see its absorption voltage. This relationship would change as current, voltage and temperature changes, and RV converters frequently only operate at absorption for a very short period of time.
The behavior of the converter also influences the outcome. Some only provide a fixed output voltage.
Your converter is likely only 360W. 30A * 12V = 360W.
Will a variable resistor of suitable rating work? Yes. Will it be a little tricky and finicky? Yes.
This is good news. Now, its science time! 2000w dimmers are not cheap, like $200. Found 5 on eBay for $80 each. I will buy one & test it. If it works, sweet. If not, oh well $80 for science is cheap!
Much thanks again guys!
