I don't have a boost converter and wouldn't build a project that has one unless there was no other way to accomplish the task. I'm about simplifying things where possible.

I'll probably use my 3s LiFePO4 for testing purposes. Still curious how efficient the battery is at accepting a charge compared to lead acid. Was going to compare charging from 80% to full with LiFePO4 and lead acid to compare charging efficiency. Lead acid is extremely inefficient as it approaches full charge, which is where it spends most of its time.
