Hello Rick,
Do you mean WFCO inverter rather than Waco? The WFCO Auto-Detect RV Converter Charger, 12V, 65A # WF98FR is absolutely a genuine WFCO product. This model is their official WF-9865-AD-CB Auto-Detect converter, and will comes with the current WFCO production firmware.
It will indeed auto-detect your battery type as advertised, switching between lead-acid and lithium charging profiles automatically.
What kind of camper is this going in Rick? What was your favorite adventure for 2025? Where did you go, what did you see?
