Question:

Hello, Id like to buy a xfer switch to switch between my Goalzero Li Ion battery and shore power. Id also like the switch to switch off the AC- DC converter while Im using the battery so I can use the batterys 12v ouput directly to power the Trailer 12v system. Finally, Id like to be able to charge the battery when connected to shore power. Any ideas ? Thanks

It sounds like you're needing a distribution center like the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 45 Amp # PD4045KA as well as an inverter/transfer switch like the Progressive Dynamics # PD44FR.

The Might Mini Panel has the AC/DC panels to distribute power as well as the converter to charge your trailer batteries when connected to shore power, and then the inverter/transfer switch pulls power from your battery bank unless you're connected to shore power - then it pulls directly from shore power.

Attached are some videos for you to check out.
