Recommended Lithium Compatible Replacement For A WFCO 8955PEC Power Center

Question

Question:

I submitted a question yesterday, however it appears the power converter I need is the pd4560LICSV to replace the power converter in a WF8955PEC power converter with distribution panel to support a lead acid to LiPoFe4 battery conversion. Is this correct? Know I only plan on using one 100Ah battery, but may increase to 200Ah in the future. Please answer ASAP and as soon as you do Ill place an order. Thank you! Paul

Hey Paul,

The # PD4560LICSV isn't compatible with your WFCO 8955PEC power center. You would need the # PD4655V to replace the current converter section and would just need to change the black jumper on the control board to the 'LI' position to make it compatible with your lithium battery bank.
