The smart 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 charger 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 flooded lead acid and AGM batteries only. Do not use gel cell batteries as they can be damaged by the higher voltages of this charger.
Charging Modes
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 system includes a number of safety features. It has a reverse polarity protection that will protect the converter if the battery is hooked up incorrectly. It has short circuit protection as well, which limits the current and reduces the output until the short has been fixed. Additionally, the over current protection 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.

I like the ability to maintain a set voltage for my AGM battery. Too new for a long term rating but so far it is perfect. Fast shipping and packaged properly.

Review from a similar Smart Battery Converter in RV Converters
The product would have worked well with multiple modifications to the RV charger location, adding a DC ground to the RV frame, and modifications to the the charger attachment tabs to mount in the original charger location. After purchase and receipt of this charger I found a direct replacement of the original Parallax charger that would not require any modifications which I purchased and installed. I am keeping the Go power unit for a spare unit and charging our boat battery.

Review from a similar Smart Battery Converter in RV Converters
This was a replacement part, but an upgrade from what was in place. I used this because it has a fixed output and a four stage charger. It also has an adjustable voltage output. My client is a full-timer and stationary and connected to shore power. So the battery is rarely used. I like that I can easily toggle this to a fixed output, set the voltage, and disconnect the battery. Ironically, this was needed after I replaced the failed converter. The batteries went bad, so I just disconnected the batteries and didn't miss a beat. The batteries have a solar charger on them, so they stay topped off. Great product, but the adjustable function is something you should read about and understand before connecting this into your system.

Review from a similar Smart Battery Converter in RV Converters
It has officially lasted longer than the unit that came with my RV. I hate that I couldn't mount it where the original lived but it does the job well. It is nearly always in use as well. If you're on the fence, grab it.

Charger is working like it should and I’m happy with my purchase. Was not happy with the way it was packaged in a box lose with no packing what so ever. Would not think shipping electronics this way is a good idea.

Review from a similar Smart Battery Converter in RV Converters
Works great, a little loud sometimes, but we knew that in advance. Has been a great addition to our van and travels. We often try to camp dispersed, but when we have power, it's great to have the converter and be able to recharge our batteries, especially if low solar gain is in play. We love it.

Shipping finally made it. I asked how it would be shipped you said either UPS or Fed Ex not USPS. You shipped it mail.. We do not have home delivery so it must go to the PO Box, different address than our street address.It went to 2 Post Offices Fortunatly our Post Office folks know us and they were able to get the package to us Please check instructions before shipping. We do like the product and it was only a couple of days late. Thanks for listening Mike

So far so good. Replaced an older 55 amp converter that stopped functioning. This will be hooked to shore power permanently and power all DC components, as well as charge the battery bank in a shower trailer. Hopefully it lasts!

- Is Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger Good Choice for Battery Bank of RVThe Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266168 would be a really solid choice to charge your RV batteries. It can put out up to 45 amps which would easily charge your battery bank and it also monitors the battery life and provides a multi staged charge based on the battery's current condition. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Converter to Power 12 Volt RV Roof Vent Fan with 110 Power SupplyYou'd need to use a converter like the part # 34266168 to convert the 110 AC power of your trailer to a 12 volt source that could power your roof vent.
view full answer... - Powering A 13amp 12VDC Pump In An RVThe Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266168 will charge your RV battery and also convert and output continuous 12V loads when hooked up to shore power which is going to allow you to run your 13amp 12VDC pump.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Sudden Power LossThe Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger - 12V - 45 Amp # 34266168 would either be wired directly to your battery or to an ac/dc converter panel so it wouldn't affect the outlets in your camper. I recommend checking panel in your camper for blown fuses or breakers from the shore power. The # 34266168 uses shore power to charge your battery so if the battery isn't bad and didn't charge using the converter then the shore power is the issue. If you find the issue isn't the fuses/breakers...
view full answer... - Replacement for 50 Amp Newmark RV Power ConverterThe Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger part # 34266168 will work well to replace a 50 Amp Newmark RV Power Converter. It's unlikely the 5 amp difference will have an impact on the system. The correct size converter is chosen based on load and the best method for selecting this is to simply choose one with either the same rating as before or as close as you can get which in this case is 45 amps.

- Can 45 Amp Go Power Converter/Charger be Used to Replace 40 Amp Converter/Charger on TrailerIf your battery has a max current of 45 amps then yes, the Go Power Smart Battery Converter Charger # 34266168 can be used for your application. My contact at Go Power said that this charger wouldn't be compatible with their batteries as they are rated for a max of 30 amps. Your 30 amp supply is actually different than your battery. What you want to do is find out the amp hours of your battery and choose something that is rated for about 30% of your amp hours. For example, if your battery...

That is what converts the 120v AC shore power into the 12v DC power for your lights, fans, etc., and charges/maintains your battery. To replace that converter with a compatible upgrade unit, you will need to get some more information off the unit. There should be a brand and model number as all are not created equal.

view full answer... - Can I Power A MaxxAir Fan And Some LEDs With This Converter?This converter you're looking at # 34266168 is rated for 600 watts and 45 amps. If you were to run something like this # MA00-04500K and a dozen or more LED lights, you won't go over the converters power rating. This one has a cooling fan on it so even if it does get hot, the fan will do a great job at keeping things cool.
