Question:
Would this be a direct replace for a WF 8955pec? Besides the lithium/lead acid spec, of course. The existing 8955pec is pretty beat. Smoking under load AC and such.

It sure is Robert and I would definitely say it's time for a replacement! The WFCO Auto Detect RV Converter and AC/DC Distribution Panel item # WF86FR is indeed a direct replacement for your WF-8955PEC.
The WFCO Auto Detect RV Converter and AC/DC Distribution Panel item # WF86FR is a 55 amp DC output power converter and battery charger. It is designed to work with a 30 amp AC shore power and is compatible with lead-acid and lithium batteries.
The WFCO Auto Detect RV Converter and AC/DC Distribution Panel item # WF86FR has similar dimensions at 14-1/4" wide x 11-3/4" tall x 8-1/2" deep. It fits a 12-3/16" wide x 11" tall cutout.
Do you camp with just shore power or do you also use a generator or solar? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

It's the same form factor, configuration. So if you take pictures, on your phone, of how the present panel is wired, you can just duplicate that with the new panel. The only difference is that this panel charges the batteries at the higher voltage required of Lithium batteries.
