I think that I see it now .... ( EDITED!!! )

Greatly Edited: Per the following two posts, I think that you and I misunderstood Booster, he doesn't want that change made on either the "charged voltage setting" or "float" setting
With AGM, you...

Nope. No Display from the PD Converter. The Solar Controller(s) display accumulated Kwh for the Solar, but my concern is total into and out from the house battery from all sources (all together)....

I'm not sure if there was a question in there ....

If you meant were asking "what is this thing, he was brilliant but didn't explain" then here is my answer. If not, please advise me to delete this (it's largely irrelevant):

It looks a lot like a...

Yep!

I strongly agree with everything you just said. But, if I add two more coulomb counters into my RV, my wife will take one look at it and say, "Rick, you've got to stop! It looks like a nuclear power...

They act independently - but they *DO* see each other.

I presuming 'MAGNUM CHARGER' to be the plugged in Converter, right?

They are 'independent' in decision-making, because they are not interconnected in a master/slave relationship. But they do...

It was from a related example, not from a Class-B RV.

Good question, because it's not directly applicable to Class B. I used the example to describe why "arguments" between the on-board converter and the Solar Controller are mostly harmless, in the...

Thank you, excellent points.

Surprisingly, (or anyway - it sure surprised ME) a pair of cheaper EPEVER controllers (BN series) scanning the bus independently, takes only a little longer to reach "float" in both controllers, than...

Taking a hint from "pure solar" dual controller setups on Trailers

Yes, they will fall into float stage, if the battery and alternator run "hot".

Good Solar Controllers "sniff" the voltage of the "battery +" output circuit, relative to ground, very frequently. If the Alternator under the hood is trying to charge it's battery at high voltage,...
