go power smart battery charger

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Bought a tv battery charger and it works great. Delivery was quick and price was fair!

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.

Had a failure of old charger...7 years old... where I was relying on solar. Called manufacturer and they recommended etrailer for the replacement...they even checked the model on etrailer to make sure it was the one I needed. etrailer had a competitive price and super fast shipping. Communication is excellent!



by:

So far everything appears to be working. Thank you



by:

It functios well. My only complaint is the cooling fan makes a high pitched whine when it runs. It's quite loud. .



by:

still working great thank you!!



by:

Unit is used as back up power at night to my home solar system. Has been running for a year with zero problems.



by:

At work from the day, I plugged it in still works great job



by:

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.



by:

Other than ups holding it in Carlisle for 2 days awesome movement across the country opened it for pictures well packed in there



by:

Since install it has kept my batteries charged. Works great!



by:

Works great easy install.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Zero installation instructions. Good thing it isn't too complicated.



by:

You guys are great



by:

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!



by:

Perfect replacement for original from rv factory. Old unit started 'fan whining' so I decided to replace it with this unit. Four screws, plug in and your done. Great product, great price, fast delivery!



by:

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.

  • Is Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger Good Choice for Battery Bank of RV
    The 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.

  • Can 45 Amp Go Power Converter/Charger be Used to Replace 40 Amp Converter/Charger on Trailer
    If 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...

  • Replacement for 50 Amp Newmark RV Power Converter
    The 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.

  • Troubleshooting Buzzing Sound from Power Converter in Camping Trailer
    That area where the fan is and buzzing sound you referenced is your power converter. 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.

  • Recommended Converter to Charge Generator Battery
    Instead of a full on converter like the # 34266168 I would get a battery charger like the NOCO GEN On-Board Battery Charger # NOC54FR. This will still plug into an available outlet on your generator and then connect directly to your battery to keep it charged/maintained. It is compatible with wet cell, gel cell, AGM, enhanced flooded, maintenance-free, and Lithium-ion batteries.

  • 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.

  • Troubleshooting Sudden Power Loss
    The 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...

  • Recommended Replacement For PD9155A Converter
    Hello Dana, thanks for reaching out. The Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266169 is what I recommend for replacing your PD9155a converter. This has the same 55 amp rating as your current unit so it'll be a very simple swap out for you. Just keep in mind this converter is 9-3/4" long x 7-3/4" wide x 3-1/2" tall so you may have to make some slight modifications to your mounting area depending on what kind of space you are working with.
