Replacement Progressive Dynamics Panel for Older WFCO 8735P Panel

Updated 09/10/2019 | Published 09/07/2019

Question:

What brand/model circuit breaker does this device require? I currently have a functioning WFCO panel but I need to upgrade to a Lithium Battery Charger. If I could use the breakers on my current WFCO 8735P panel that would be a good savings. Alternative might be a Progressive Dynamics Power Converter designed for lithium batteries. The model I am considering is PD 9140 ALV. I think it can supply 12 volt power to my existing panel. Thanks for your help.

I reached out to my contact at Progressive Dynamics and he said that your WFCO 8735P is an older model panel and so if you want to upgrade you will need a whole new system which will be the 45 amp Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Lithium Charger # PD4045LIKA.

He said that you could potentially use the Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger # PD9140ALV but the wiring would be more complicated and you'd have an overall better experience with the whole new panel.
