rv power center

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

internal view

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.


inside cover

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

switch

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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

cooling fans

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.

  • Do You Have to Replace the Converter Section of a PD4590 Power Center For Lithium Batteries
    I am not 100% sure what you are asking. The newer models of the power centers/converter sections like the Progressive Dynamics 4500 Series RV Converter # PD4590K18LS8 are coming with the switch that you are referencing that allows you to switch between battery types for charging. Older models do not have that switch and there are some converter sections that do not have the switch still. Since you have the 90 amp version of the 4500 series, we do not have a replacement converter section...

    The Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 90 Amp # PD4590K18LS8 is a distribution panel for your AC and DC appliances which will also charge your battery when hooked up to shore power. It is not an inverter to allow you to convert DC power to AC power to run AC appliances. You would need to install an inverter with a transfer switch if you were planning to boondock and use your battery to power AC appliances. You do not want to install...

  • Do You Have a Replacement Converter for a WFCO WF-9990?
    Hey Laurentius, thanks for the information! Your WFCO WF-9990 has a 90 amp converter in it so the only option we have to match that rating is the Progressive Dynamics 4500 Series RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard and AC/DC Distribution Panel - 90 Amp item # PD4590K18LS8.

  • Can Converter Section for 4590K18L be Upgraded to Lithium Batteries if it Doesn't Have an Li Switch?
    Hey Kurt! The converter section can't be replaced, but you can replace the entire power center with the 4500 Series # PD4590K18LS8 which comes with the switch you're needing. I wish there was a converter section that would make the upgrade a little more simple, but since your model doesn't have the switch, there isn't a way to get this to work. Are you just looking to get better life out of your battery bank with the lithium batteries?

  • Replacement Converter Section For A Progressive Dynamics PD4590 Power Center
    To replace just the converter section of your PD4590 series power center you'll need part # PD4590CSV. This is a direct factory replacement for a 90 amp PD4500-series power center, like you have.

  • Can I Upgrade My 35A Converter to an 80A Converter for Lithium Batteries?
    Hey Arik, thanks for reaching out! Since the 80A Progressive Dynamics 9300 Series RV Converter Charger # PD89RR is rated quite a bit higher than the current 35A converter in your setup, you'll have to swap over the entire power center to something with a higher rating like the 75A # PD4575K18LS8 or 90A # PD4590K18LS8. This is something we've reached out to Progressive Dynamics about in the past and they've said the whole power center needs an upgrade in order to do this safely. You won't...

  • Replacing Converter On A WFCO WF-9990 Power Converter With Distribution Panel
    The Progressive Dynamics # PD4590CSV is designed as a replacement for the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center # PD4590K18LS8. It is not made as a replacement for the WFCO 9990, and unfortunately we do not offer a converter section that will be compatible. Your best bet will be to replace the entire distribution panel with the Progressive Dynamics # PD4590K18LS8 which has a 90 amp converter and charge wizard.

  • What is the Lithium Vs. Lead Acid Switch on Some Progressive Dynamics Converters
    The switch you are referencing is a bit confusing right now. That is because some of the converters have the switch and some do not. In this case, the Progressive Dynamics REL 90A 4500 Series Inteli-Power Converter Section # PD4590CSV does not have the switch and only works with flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries.

  • What is Needed to Change Battery Bank to Lithium Batteries
    If I am following correctly you have a complete system in place already but bought new lithium chemistry batteries and want to change out the previously installed with the new Battle Born. If the solar charge controller you refer to is the Go Power PWM, # 34276119 then there is no need to change this out as it works with sealed/gel, AGM, and flooded lead acid, and lithium iron phosphate batteries. You will however need to select the correct preset charging profile for your type battery....

    The product you referenced, Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 90 Amp # PD4590K18LS8, is absolutely compatible Lithium-Ion, AGM, Gel, and Lead-Acid batteries. There is a very small switch for changing between either LI (lithium-ion) or LA (lead-acid, agm, gel) as you can see in the photo I attached.
