Specs:
Furrion's converter charger converts AC shore power into DC power and uses a multistage charging system to charge your battery bank. If your RV already has a stock converter charger, it will need to be removed to ensure this unit operates properly.
Automatic Multistage Charging System
Using a multistage charging system, the converter charge automatically switches voltages while the battery bank charges. This accelerates the charge, but also helps extend battery life by adjusting the voltage during the different modes. This charger is compatible with LiFeP04 batteries.
Charging Modes
1. Bulk: This mode charges at the full rated load for a quicker recharge time. As the name suggests, this is where the bulk of the charging happens. It typically charges the battery to at least 80% capacity.
2. Absorption: This mode provides controlled voltage to ensure a full charge. Once the battery reaches between 80% to 90% capacity, the absorption state will kick in and start charging at a regulated voltage.
3. Float: Once the battery reaches full charge, this mode maintains a lower voltage to compensate for self-discharge. This reduces battery stress and minimizes gassing and water loss.
4. Equalization: On flooded batteries, this mode activates to prevent stratification and sulfate buildup during extended float 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 built-in safety features protect your RV's electrical system from several issues, like reverse polarity and brownouts. It has over current protection as well, which includes cycle-by-cycle peak limiting and rated current limiting. The built-in cooling fan also removes excess heat from the unit. The fan speed is proportional to the internal temperature on the converter, so the fan will turn on and off slowly to minimize noise.
How It Installs
The smart converter charger mounts inside your RV in a dry location with ventilation. The DC output terminals wire to the battery bank. The AC in cord plugs into a 120V 3-wire grounded source.

Today I'm going to take a look at the Furrion Net-Zero 80 amp Power Converter. Now, this converter charger will quickly charge your Furrion Net-Zero LiFePO4 battery, which we do sell separately on our website. It's part number FDF12A100E. Now, this has a float and standby mode for auto recycle charge. It keeps your battery fresh, even during long periods of inactivity. It has a microprocessor control which allows auto-charging operations to ensure a quick and full battery charge.
It does use intelligent fan speed control, intelligent thermal D rating and cutoff protection. It has electronic current limiting, over-voltage protect, over-current protection, short circuit protection, and even reverse polarity protection. It does meet the UL 458 standards.If you notice on this end, you see there's your battery connections right here. There's a ground connection right here. It does have the four 20 am fuses, and on the other end they use a 40" cord on this end.A few specs on this.
The battery type is RJ11. Standby voltage is 13.2 volts. Charge current is 80 amps. The operation voltage range is 100 volts AC to 132 volts AC, 60 hertz. Output over the current protection is 85 amps.
Full load input power is 1500 watts, and the no load input current is 200 milliamps. Full load input current at 120 volts, 60 hertz is 12.5 amps. The working environment for this is 14 degrees Fahrenheit to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, and the storage environment is a -4 degrees Fahrenheit to 176 degrees Fahrenheit. It does come with this nice instruction manual that will describe how to hook it up and how it operates.And the last thing I want to give you, some overall dimensions. Now, lengthwise, we're going to measure.
You can see the battery connector sort of stick out some, so we're going to measure from the end of those to this end right here. So if we put a ruler on that, you can see it's going to be right at 11 11/16" long. The overall width on it, you want to measure the bottom where the mounting brackets are, so edge to edge, and you're going to be right at 9 5/16" wide, and the overall height from the bottom to the very top is going to be right at 4 3/8" tall.But that should do it for the review on the Furrion Net-Zero's 80 amp Power Converter.
