Just installed a new converter
My old Parallax 55 amp converter gave up the ghost. 5 resistors and a toroidal core transformer shorted to the iron core. After reading about this model I decided to replace it with something better, at least I hope it is. This one cost less than a replacement and seems to have better reviews.
I installed a Progressive Dynamics PD9260CV Inteli-Power Converter Charger 60A with Charge Wizard. I thought I had enough room but in the back of the cavity there was a angled shield to protect something that I didn't want to investigate. I ended up turning the entire power center upside down so the converter would be mounted above the 120v panel. I had to modify the metal box but it will just have better air flow now.
It was simple to hook up. I had to cut off the 120v plug and wire it directly into the circuit breaker panel. Then lock down the heavy 12v lines. Probably took me longer to drill holes and fasten down the unit.
