Features to Know About

Reliable Charging Without Replacing Your Power Center

When lights start dimming or batteries stop charging like they used to, it's easy to assume the whole power center needs to be replaced. In many cases, it's really just the converter that's worn out. This deck-mounted converter charger lets you restore clean, reliable DC power without tearing into a distribution panel that's still doing its job. It's a straightforward fix that gets your RV's electrical system back on track.

Does This Converter Work With Lead Acid and Lithium Batteries?

Yes. WFCO's Auto-Detect technology automatically recognizes lead-acid or lithium batteries and applies the correct profile. Lead-acid batteries receive 3-stage charging with higher voltage during bulk charging, then step down to normal, and trickle/float stages as they recover. Lithium batteries follow a two-stage process designed for faster, more consistent charging. The result is quicker recharge times and less day-to-day strain on your batteries, helping them last longer and perform more reliably.

Stable DC Power With Built-In Protection

RV electrical systems see a lot of use, and small power issues can turn into bigger headaches when they affect lights, control boards, or entertainment systems. This converter delivers stable DC power whether or not a battery is connected, helping keep sensitive electronics running smoothly. Built-in protections guard against over-current, over-temperature, over-voltage, and reverse polarity conditions, so wiring mistakes or sudden load changes don't cause damage.

What Makes This Converter a Practical Replacement

Converter replacements don't always happen in wide-open compartments with perfect mounting surfaces. This deck-mounted converter is built to be flexible, so it can be installed horizontally, vertically, or even upside down depending on the space you're working with. The integrated 20-amp AC power cord keeps wiring straightforward, and the vented housing allows proper airflow in multiple mounting orientations. Insulated connections help protect wiring during installation and long-term use. It's a practical fit when your existing distribution panel is still in good shape and you just need a reliable converter charger to keep your RV's 12V systems running. If you'd like help with the install, you can use etrailer's installer locator to find a qualified shop near you.

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer. Today we're gonna take a look at the WFCO 12 Volt Deck Mount Auto-Detect RV Converter Charger. Now this converter is gonna keep your RV power smooth and steady, and it even adjusts itself to whatever battery you're using. It does stay quiet, protects your system from electrical hiccups, and it won't interfere with your electronics. This does use an auto-detect technology, which will recognize your battery's chemistry and it automatically adjust the charging profile to match.

So if you're using a lead acid battery, this has a three stage converter, which will handle every charging need for your RV. And if it's a lithium battery, it uses a multi-stage process to ensure safe operating voltage, replaces battery energy, and balances the battery cells. Now this converter charger provides a nice, clean, reliable DC power that powers electronics and appliances. And it delivers clean power, with or without a battery. Now on this model, the maximum power input is 1,110 watts.

The continuous power output is 880 watts. And the output DC current is 65 amps. Now this is a deck mount installation. Comes with this integrated three foot long 20 amp AC power cord. And the vertical mounting on this will provide unobstructed ventilation for the fan, which is at the bottom right here.

And at the top, the vents on the side here and on the top. It is fully insulated connections to give you protection. And the open top design right here for ease of use and effortless installation. Now this does offer protection against over-current, over-temperature, over-voltage, and reverse polarity. We mentioned the cooling fan right down here.

This cooling fan will run only when needed for quiet operation. And it is controlled by the current load that's attached to the converter, not by the temperature. Now we do also sell separately distribution centers, which we inchesre ideal to pair with this converter.
