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.

Just hooked everything up last night it took a few hours but I managed to get it in. I just hope it works after I fix my 50amp cord or get a new cord I believe everything is right might have to switch a few breaker wires but it looks amazing compared to my old one I feel like a professional electrician. An electrician wanted to charge me between 300 to 500 to hook it up. Glad I managed to do it. Out with the old one in with the new one. Thank you etrailer

The 60 amp panel has served my application well. I adapted it to replace the 30 amp AC/DV distribution panel in Our RV by cutting/shaving off the converter portion & removing a minor piece of wood in the RV. With that done I was able to do a quality installation with switched interconnects berween 2 DC/AC inverters, a DC Charger and a new Cummins diesel generation that replaced the OEM propane generation.

That’s an impressive setup, sounds like you really dialed that system in. Adapting the panel like that and tying in dual inverters, a charger, and a diesel generator is no small project. That switch from propane to a Cummins diesel gen is a big upgrade too. What kind of RV are you running this all in?

I love my new PD4560 , I had to replace my old parallax & figured since it’s old system instead of replacing the converter I’ll just change the whole system. I highly recommend installing a new system in my 2009 Sierra Forest River. All my research paid off well because now I can go lithium & solar in near future. Thank you etrailer for excellent handling of my product.sending a couple of picts haven’t made my labels just yet so I still have to complete that. Also had to customize as old until was different size. Over all I’d say I did a beautiful job. Kudos to me

Had one of these in my previous Intech Motorsports trailer. New Intech Lite Stacker only had 30 amp 120v. This was a nice upgrade to give us more room and flexibility in the future.

The unit was used to replace the 20 year old panel originally installed in the camper. Installation was fairly straight forward. We used it for the entire season without issue. I really enjoy the peace of mind provided by having a newer power center. The old unit had a separate inverter. The new unit is equipped with power inverter integrated into the panel. After slightly increasing the opening, the panel fit right in.

This unit was most similar to the one I had to replace on our '27 Komfort travel trailer. As suggested, I turned it on its side and resized the opening. My only concern was that the holes were oversized for plastic snap-in 1/2" stress relief connectors. Romex metal connectors with a securing nut was the best solution. Finished product looks great.

I asked for a replacement for my American converter and was told to get this one. What I wasn't told was that I would need a transfer switch at another $150.00 in order to accommodate a generator. The sales person should have known this. It wasn't until I got it installed that I realized this and that was too late to return it.

My coach batteries in my motorhome are now being charged. I ordered this replacement converter system after the one in my 9 year-old motorhome failed last week. Fortunately it was just the battery charger part that failed, so I was able to remove the battery charger part and install it in the intact power distribution part in my motorhome. It was easy compared to disconnecting all of the AC and DC wiring and replacing the whole converter.
Thank you etrailer for having the part I needed in stock.

- Can Progressive Dynamics PD4560K18NS2B Power Center Be Used for Lithium Battery BankHey Justin! With the current Progressive Dynamics REL 60A 4500 Series Inteli-Power Converter Section # PD4560CSV you'll either need to make a jumper or you'll just need to go with the Converter Section # PD4560LICSV instead, so your power center can handle the Lithium battery style.

Our best option for replacing your Power Converter Model CS6000XL is the Progressive Dynamics RV Control Center part # PD4560K18LS8. The American CS6000XL that you referenced is discontinued, so this will be our closest option for replacing it since it has the same amperage rating. The panel itself is 14-1/8" tall x 11-3/16" long x 8-1/2" deep and it requires a 13-1/4" tall x 10-1/8" long cutout.

The only scenario where you would need to possibly change out equipment would be if you changed the house batteries of your 2016 Forest River Georgetown Motorhome.

For example, the Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266169 you were looking...
view full answer... - Can Progressive Dynamics 60 Amp Control Center Be Used with 30 Amp Receptacle?The amp rating of the control center units like the Progressive Dynamics 60 Amp # PD4560K18LS8 have more to do with their max electrical rating and less to do with what type of receptacle they are compatible with.

Please be mindful that you need to be checking the rest of your electric system as well since upgrading certain parts can allow more power through so you want to make sure...
