Looking to add a voltage regulator to limit DC voltage going to DC Fuse Block to no greater than 13.9V. Rather than having to put regulator on individual devices it just seems like it would be more efficient to just add a regulator to the DC Fuse block eliminating the need at individual locations, ie MaxxAire Fan. <snip>

I found this info online for the PD9260CV charger: "The Boost Mode rapidly charges the batteries at 14.4 volts till the batteries reach 90% charged. The Normal Mode finishes the charge cycle by reducing the voltage to 13.6 volts till the batteries are done charging. Once the battery is completely charged the unit switches to the Storage Mode and maintains the batteries at 13.2 volts. The Equalization Mode charges at 14.4 volts every 21 hours for 15 minutes to prevent battery stratification and sulfation."
