The difference between the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger # PD9145A and the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # PD9245C is that the 9100 series # PD9145A is a single stage charger with an expansion port. When you plug in the Charge Wizard for Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power PD9100 Series Converters # PD9105 it becomes a 3 stage charger.

The 9200 # PD9245C is a 3 stage charger and has an integrated charge wizard. So, basically the 9100 plus the charge wizard # PD92201 is the 9200 for most users.

I recommend just going with the 9200 series # PD9245C with the optional Converter Status Remote Pendant for Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power PD9200 Series Converters # PD92201, which allows you to monitor and control your unit, and the manual switch allows you to switch the charging mode of the built in charge wizard.
