Recommended Lithium Capable Converter/Charger

Question

Question:

Hi, I have a Rockwood a-frame camper with a WFCO power center Model WF-8735P. In the future I want to change over to a lithium battery. I’m going to have to replace the WFCO converter I currently have. What do you recommend? Thanks.

In order to be able to charge a lithium battery, you are correct that you need a new power center that will work with a lithium battery. Progressive Dynamics has a direct replacement for your WFCO WF-8735 power center, # PD4135K, which was recently updated to include a switch for use with lithium batteries.

It 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…

On a 30 amp trailer with lithium batteries you will want to stick with the Progressive Dynamics 9300 Series RV Converter Charger #PD49RR. Only the amperage output is higher on the 40 amp converter; the efficiency is exactly the same for both.

Converter output is typically talked about in amperage and not wattage. Your 6325 would indicate that you have a 6300 model panel with a 25 amp converter. You can replace just the converter if you don't want to replace the whole panel or you can…
