Recommended Replacement For A WFCO8735 RV Power Center

Published 03/14/2022

Question:

Im looking to upgrade to lithium batteries on my RV. I currently have a WFCO 8735 Power control center. It is my understanding that it will not fully charge lithium batteries so Im looking to replace it with Progressive Dynamics PD1435K, is this correct? And what breakers are needed for this power control center. The WFCo8735 is using 1-30 amp, 1-20 amp and 3-15 amp Siemens Duplex circuit breakers, please advise. Thank You

The Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4135K is a recommended replacement for your WFCO8735 power center and is compatible with lithium batteries. It has 5 branch circuits, each rated for 20 amps and a main rated for 30 amps. This means that that can use two double 20's and a 30/20 breaker.

I've attached a picture from the manual below that lists the approved circuit breaker manufacturers as well.
