Why Is There A Replacement DC Distribution Panel Included With The PD4655V Converter Section

Question:

For the PD4655V that is being installed to fully charge a new LiPoFe4 battery, which is replacing a functional WFCO 8955PEC, why do we need to replace the existing WFCO 12V fuse board in the breaker/fuse board unit? It appears this purchase includes a replacement 12V fuse board. Thx!

Hey Paul,

The DC distribution panel included with the Progressive Dynamics Replacement Section # PD4655V has the Charge Wizard functionality built into it. The Charge Wizard feature isn't used for Lithium setups but it would be beneficial to have if you ever switch back to lead acid or sell the RV later on and the next owner switches back to lead acid.
