Specs:
Note: Charge Wizard not compatible with lithium converter chargers.
This converter charger converts AC shore power into DC power and charges your battery bank. The converter uses a high voltage output to provide the proper charging profile for lithium batteries. If your RV already has a stock converter charger, it will need to be removed to ensure this unit operates properly.
Built for lithium batteries, this unit uses a higher output voltage than a typical converter charger, which provides a fast, complete charge. The charger also extends battery life since it utilizes the appropriate charging profile. Additionally, it's compatible with your battery's internal Battery Management System (BMS), which helps manage charging by monitoring the battery state and balancing cell voltage.
If your battery bank requires a higher amperage or voltage to charge properly, you can connect identical converter chargers together to accommodate your setup. With parallel wiring, you can increase the charging current which is useful for high-capacity battery banks. Conversely, you can wire them in series, which increases the voltage so you can charge 24V, 36V, or 48V systems.
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 converter will shut down if there is excessive voltage. The built-in cooling fan also removes excess heat from the unit and only operates during high loads.
The converter mounts horizontally inside your RV in a dry location with ventilation. However, as long as the unit has sufficient ventilation, it can also be mounted vertically. The mounting hardware is not included.
The DC output terminals wire to the battery bank. The AC in cord plugs into a 120V 3-wire grounded outlet.

Converter charger changes AC shore power to DC power to run 12V loads and charge your lithium RV batteries at the campground. Optimizes power output by utilizing a custom lithium charging profile that ensures a complete charge.Simple to use and hook up. No cheap plastic. Seems commercial grade. I really like that. Charged my LiFEPO4 Battle Born quickly.
I am switching to lithium batteries and this is to replace my current converter. The PD 9100 series is well built and I am sure it will work well. I'll update after this is installed.
Looks like a great product for charging lithium batteries, especially at such a reasonable price. Great service from etrailer.
Works as advertised.
Review from a similar Inteli-Power in RV Converters
Worked perfect with my four 100 AH Lithium batteries.... Stock Winnebago charger was a weak 30 amps @ 13.2 V.....this baby delivers 80 amps @ 14.4 V. which reduces generator runtime on cloudy days when the roof solar is not producing. Had to change the 15 amp RV panel breaker to 20 amps...no big deal...I'm happy with this purchase.
Review from a similar Inteli-Power in RV Converters
Works as advertised. I can charge two 100 AH LiFePo-4 batteries with no trouble at all. Just make sure you use decent gauge wire because this charger is a beast! Smaller gauged wire will heat up due to the amount of current this thing delivers. It does constant current charging and then switches to constant voltage to top off the battery. Well worth the money!
Review from a similar Inteli-Power in RV Converters
The Progressive Dynamic 80 amp lithium charger is a great product. Charges the lithium batteries very fast. Its a simple well built charger converter. I've used it for about 8 months now. I used to own a 40 amp Progressive Dynamic regular battery charger converter on my previous rv. It worked great for the 12 or so years I owned it.
Review from a similar Inteli-Power in RV Converters
This product was recommended by the lifepo4 battery manufacturer to fully charge the 3 batteries I purchased. Installation was pretty simple. Did not have to run larger wiring which was thankful. Simply swap out old converter charger with new one and ready to use. I would highly recommend this product.

I had my son-in-law who is an electrician install the converter. The converter is working good and the battery charge was really good. I believe that the water pump pressure was the best I had in a long time which indicates how well the battery is charged. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that I think that a better manual could of come with the converter. When I connected the battery there was a green flashing light that I didn't know what it meant but after an internet search I found out what it meant. E-trailer was great to deal with, fast service and answered my questions quickly,
Review from a similar Inteli-Power in RV Converters
So far so good! I build my own power center modeled after the ones in RV for our enclosed trailer. Its been working great. I bought fuses at the auto parts store, and bought circuit breakers at home depot no problem. I did contact progressive dynamics because it seems that there are places you can buy these cheap but the serial number is not recognized by progressive dynamics meaning you have no warranty and probably cant return it to those places. But since etrailer was not listed on progressive dynamics website as a retailer, I contacted them, gave them my serial number, and they confirmed that etrialer is a preferred dealer, and my serial number is legit.... I contacted progressive dynamics also during installation, and they were very helpful. I was concerned the the wire coming out of the unit that hooks up to your 12 v batteries was 12AWG. I though that seemed too light a gauge, and should be at least 10AWG maybe 8AWG. Progressive dynamics, technical guy said that they have a special high temp insulation on those wires and they can indeed handle 40 AMPS. He recommended (which looks odd installed) but I ran 8AWG from my battery, and spliced it to the 12AWG wire on progressive dynamics unit. No Complaints so far, its been running great and charging the batteries. No regrets.

Just installed this unit, working as it’s supposed to... installed without smart charge for now, charges at a steady 13.2 with a new battery.. all interior 12 volt lighting is nice and bright.. I bought this brand because it’s American made.... I will update in a year or so

Good converter, good company. Use to charge a lifepo4 battery. Wish there was documentation from the company explaining how exactly the charger charges the batteries; graphs of the rate of charge, voltage, etc over time and over the total charge capacity. But that would be asking a lot. The product is excellent quality.
Review from a similar Inteli-Power in RV Converters
This converter was an awesome upgrade to our RV. Our stock converter just didn't have the oomph to get out lithium batteries full. The Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger - Lithium - 12V - 80 Amp has done the trick. It was a simple upgrade even though it was in a very tight area.

Review from a similar Inteli-Power in RV Converters
Just received it but reviews are great and it is exactly as described. Will be perfect for my old 13 foot Burro trailer. Can switch between Lead-Acid and Lithium batteries so is future proof. Sales/shipping experience with etrailer was great of course. Literally shipped an hour after order was placed. Shipped to Canada in ~4 days. Outstanding all around.

It's been in about a week and so far so good. Seems to be doing the job. This Replacement one was Slightly Larger so I had to make a couple of modifications to the Original Mount, but I had Planned on That. Reasonably Quick Service, I'd Order from these guys Again.
Casey - 09/24/2020Review from a similar Inteli-Power in RV Converters
I ordered this converter to replace the original converter in my 1991 truck camper. This new converter has worked great on multiple trips! I highly recommend this converter for anyone who is upgrading an older RV electrical system or need to add electric to a trailer project.
Review from a similar Inteli-Power in RV Converters
So far so good the only issue I am having is I can’t figure out how to wire my ceiling light into my converter other than that though easy to install It was a wise investment and I would recommend to friends I used it to add outlets and my camper is a 1968 so it had never had a converter ever in it
