frater_secessus [shore power charging] high 14s

 If **shore power charging is the only source of charging** or if **time on the charger is limited** then a more aggressive, expensive, higher-capacity multistage converter/charger may be warranted.   If **shore power charging is the only source of charging** or if **time on the charger is limited** then a more aggressive, expensive, higher-capacity multistage converter/charger may be warranted.

 +If the converter is a **multi-stage charger hardcoded to Absorp in the high 14s** then a less aggressive converter will be required unless you plan to manually intervene, cutting off charging in the "upper knee".
  
 If the van will **be on shore power for an extended period** (days, weeks, months) then a small single-stage converter charger set to quite low voltage (13.2v?) would hold the battery at middling states of charge.  It only needs to be a bit bigger than the expected loads so gradual charging can occur.   If the van will **be on shore power for an extended period** (days, weeks, months) then a small single-stage converter charger set to quite low voltage (13.2v?) would hold the battery at middling states of charge.  It only needs to be a bit bigger than the expected loads so gradual charging can occur.
