-If you have solar and will be on shore power for more than one day then a simple converter that charges at the batteries' recommended Float voltage is fine;  solar will be able to do the relatively light duty of completing Absorption each day.
+If you have solar and will be on shore power for more than one day then **a simple converter that charges at the batteries' recommended Float voltage** is fine;  solar will be able to do the relatively light duty of completing Absorption each day.
 If you do not have solar or will be on shore power for only one overnight then we need a three-stage ("smart") converter that can handle Absorption duties.

 "Dumb" converters output a single voltage and work fine when solar charging is present (see above) or when the bank is lithium chemistry.  In this scenario the 12v power supply can is set to ~13.x voltages to provide "low float" support while on shore power.
-If loads are run off the converter in the daytime the converter will just be supporting the solar yield and can be rather small.  If used at night the converter will be carrying the whole burdern should be sized to your expected loads ([[https://amzn.to/2WNSIDL|20A]], [[https://amzn.to/3jwQGBO|40A]], whatever).
