This smart converter charger converts AC shore power into DC power and uses the Charge Wizard 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.
Charge Wizard Operation
Using the built-in Charge Wizard, 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, 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 a 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. It also has GFCI protection that shuts off power when there is a current imbalance. 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 when the power demand is low, the fan will operate quietly.
Available Converter Status Remote Pendant for Easy Monitoring and Control
The Converter Status Remote Pendant (sold separately) monitors the converter's charging status. It also allows you to manually override the charge process to verify the unit is operating properly. The pendant uses a flashing green LED to indicate what charging mode is active. It easily connects to the converter's accessory port with the attached cable.
How It Installs
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 source.

I use this along with two 6V golf cart batteries and it works great for dry camping. We run the generator about an hour a day and keeps them charged. Did a few trips this summer for a week at a time with no issues.

it replaced a converter in a 1991 RV. it works fine. On the old converter there was a blue wirer that I didn't know where it went. Because I could not get 12v to the 12v fuse block. with a ohm meter I found it to be the feed line thank you for your service.

I recently found out that for the last year my battery has been dead on my RV. I live full time in my RV and I did not notice the dead battery because this charger was so good, it never missed a beat.

Its very unusual to see ordered product arrive when promised, especially here in Alaska. Typically 2nd day means 5 to 6 days later. This isnt the first time etrailer has come through. Not only satisfied but impressed.

Ask the Experts about this Progressive Dynamics RV Converters
- Will the Progressive Dynamics RV Converters PD9245C Replace a 40 Amp Magnetek Converter/Charger?Though I was unable to find anything about your 40 amp Magnetek B-W converter/charger, the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger - 12V - 45 Amps # PD9245C will most likely be the best option we have available as a replacement. This will have a temperature storage range from -4 degrees at the minimum, all the way up to 176 degrees at the maximum. With an amperage output of 45 amps, it will nearly match your current 40 amp Magnetek as well.
view full answer... - Can Two Batteries Wired in Parallel Be Used with Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV ConverterYes, you can use the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # PD9245C on a set of two batteries wired in parallel with an output of 12 volts.
view full answer... - Can Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter be Used with Solar Panel Input from ControllerThe great thing about DC power sources is that you can run multiple power sources together without issue unlike AC power which requires transfer switches. So the converter part # PD9245C ran to your panel along with your solar panel controller would not be an issue at all.
view full answer... - Batteries Not Charging, Do I Need to Replace the Converter?I recommend you start by just replacing the fuses. If that fixes the problem, you are all set. If not, I recommend replacing the power converter with a new unit. I can recommend a similar model to replace your existing converter if you can find the model number on the unit. Otherwise, if you know the power consumption of all your devices, you can pick a new unit with enough power for everything. For example, if your power requirements come in under 1,080 watts, I recommend the Progressive...
view full answer... - What RV Converter Replacement Do I Need for the Power Source PC45a?For a replacement converter for your 2000 Jayco Eagle C-Class RV with a Power Source PC45a, I recommend the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # PD9245C. The Inteli-Power Rv Converter is compatible with 12v systems and has dimensions of 8-1/4" long x 7-1/4" wide x 4-11/16" deep.
view full answer... - Can I Replace My RV Converter With a Converter With a Higher Amp RatingIt looks like the WFCO 8935 is a 35 Amp converter, so you're not going to be able to install the Progressive Dynamics # PD9245C because it is rated for 45 amps. Adding a higher amp rating converter to your system could potentially cause overheating of the wiring on your 2006 KZ Jag camper, which could cause damage to the wiring system and/or fires. If your current converter has gone bad, you can use the # PD4635V which is listed as a direct replacement option for your WFCO 8935.

If this fits in the slot you are referring to in the bottom of the power panel then you will be all set. You can cut the plug off the end and hardwire it as you stated, but that will void the warranty because you will be altering the manufactured product.
