Published 10/12/2026
Question:
I have the WFCO WF-8725 and I plan on upgrading to the WF-8735 so I can use lithium batteries and add devices. Ive heard that the 8735 keeps having problems with the Auto Detect feature. Has this been solved yet?

Hey Solomon, WFCO has released updated firmware, including version 1.21A, to improve lithium battery detection with their WFCO Auto Detect RV Converter and AC/DC Distribution Panel # WF96FR. So yes they are aware of it, they are working on it, and it will continue to improve. Do you have lithium batteries or are you planning on upgrading to them?
