No, the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 35 Amp # PD4135K is for converting AC/DC power sources to run things in your RV and to help charge your RV's battery.
What you'll need instead is DC to DC battery charger like the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Single Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 12 Amp Item # RED96FR. You'll also want to use a fuse kit to ensure your equipment is all protected - 30-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 12-Amp BCDC Battery Charger Item # RED86FR.
