This RV power control center combines an AC/DC panel with a multifunction converter charger. Creating easy access to your electrical connections, this all-in-one breaker box distributes AC and DC loads to your RV and charges your batteries while connected to shore power. It's compatible with lithium and lead acid batteries.
AC/DC Electrical Distribution
The panel supplies AC and DC distribution to your RV's electrical system. The AC section includes space for up to 6 breakers rated for 240V at 50 amps. This lets you have up to 12 branch circuits when you use tandem breakers. The DC section has 18 branch fuse holders capable of using (4) 30 amp and (14) 20 amp fuses. Also, this section has lever lock connectors to make wiring faster and more secure. Simply open the lever, insert the wire, and close. You will need to purchase AC breakers and DC fuses separately to complete the installation.
Once all of your connections are made, the breakers and fuses are easily accessible by opening the door on the front of the box. The door also includes a blank label to list all of the connections.
Multifunctional Converter Charger
The integrated converter charger changes AC shore power into DC power to charge your battery bank. It includes an output mode switch that lets you choose either lithium or lead acid batteries. No matter what type of battery is installed in your RV, you'll always have the most efficient charging profile. If your RV already has a stock converter charger, it will need to be removed to ensure this unit operates properly.
Charging Profile Designed for Lithium Batteries
In lithium mode, the unit uses a higher output voltage, which provides a fast, complete charge. It also extends battery life since it utilizes the appropriate charging profile. Additionally, this mode is compatible with your battery's internal Battery Management System (BMS), which helps manage the charge cycle by monitoring the battery state and balancing cell voltage.
Charge Wizard for Lead Acid Batteries
In lead acid mode, the Charge Wizard automatically switches voltages while your lead acid battery bank charges. This accelerates the charge but also helps extend battery life by adjusting the voltage during the different modes. This function is compatible with flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries.
Charging Modes
- Boost: This mode charges at the full rated load for a quicker recharge time. This is where most of the charging happens. It charges the battery up to 90% of the full capacity.
- Normal: This mode provides controlled voltage to ensure a full charge. Once the battery begins to reach capacity, the normal state will kick in and reduce the voltage to safely complete the charge.
- Storage: Once the battery reaches full charge and remains unused for 30 hours, this mode maintains a lower voltage to compensate for self-discharge. This reduces battery stress and minimizes gassing and water loss.
- Equalization: This mode activates to prevent stratification and sulfate buildup during extended storage cycles. These two issues can damage a battery by causing the accumulation of acid at the bottom of the battery and hardened sulfate crystals on the battery plates. This mode is especially helpful when your battery is going unused during storage.
Safety Features
The system includes a number of safety features. It has reverse polarity protection that will protect the converter if the battery is hooked up incorrectly. Additionally, the unit includes protection for overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent, which can damage your equipment, as well as the converter. The built-in cooling fan also removes excess heat from the unit. The fan speed is proportional to the internal temperature of the converter, so when the power demand is low, the fan will operate quietly.

This 2-in-1 AC/DC distribution panel and converter charger keeps your power systems easily accessible inside the RV. Works with lithium and lead acid batteries. Uses a custom charging profile for lithium and multistage charging for lead acid.by: Steve T02/12/2022
I purchased this unit as a backup incase my original one had problems after I changed my AGM batteries for my new Lithiums. So far the original unit is doing well, but I am glad to have this one in these times of shortages. The part that really concerns me was that it was the only thing in the box that traveled with UPS for four days. No packaging material was securing the plastic unit inside, nothing to keep it from bouncing around inside. Thankfully it arrived without damage, I am surprised.
by: Chris09/22/2021
Ours didn’t even come with the door cover. Just an open unit full of wires. We even paid an extra $xx for two day delivery and needed this ASAP!
Now what?

Very good system no problems worked out very well

First one ordered was destroyed by UPS. Sent the folks an email with pictures and returned the broke one. I'm sure after they went through sending a claim to UPS they eventually got another out to me.

This is a fantastic piece. I had ordered another one from ebay that was less money but the saying "you get what you pay for" definetly applies here. The quality of the connections inside this are far superior. Really couldn't be happier.

I’m not able to give a good review as the product arrived damaged. However the box was not damaged and the product was well wrapped in bubble wrap. But further investigation I found the fuse strip with several of the holders bent and will not accept a fuse. It appears this damage was done at the factory as this is deep inside the converter.
I have a mobile tech coming this afternoon to install and hope he may be able to fix. I would like your advise if I should have him try to install this unit considering the damage. If not I would need a replacement ASAP as I’m leaving this Friday for a 7 night trip and will need by Wednesday for a Thursday installation if we cannot rectify the terminal situation. I’m looking forward to installing the latest technology as I have an 05, 27 ft Holiday Rambler Alumascape. My unit is completely dead no power except 110.
Please review the pic's and let me know your immediate recommendation.

- Can the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center Be Wired For SolarNo, you cannot wire the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center # PD4590K18LS8 (PD4590) to a solar system. Solar can only be wired directly to a charge controller and then directly to a battery. It can't be wired any other way. You would need to get an inverter like the # 34278157 wired to a transfer switch # PD5110010Q before the panel to be able to reuse everything.
view full answer... - Replacement For WFCO WF-9900 ConverterI checked with Progressive Dynamics, and the replacement converter that is the best option for your WFCO WF-9900 is the Progressive Dynamics 4500 Series RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard and AC/DC Distribution Panel - 90 Amp # PD4590K18LS8.
