Problem with Progressive Dynamic Converter
Hello, I am new to Open Roads Forum. I have owned a 99' Fleetwood Bounder since new. I am curious to know if other members have experienced charging problems with their Progressive Dynamics AC to DC...
Forum Discussion
I will make two comments here.
First a few questions:
HOW are you measuring the charge on the batteries? And where are you measuring.
Next, What kind of batteries (Flooded wet cell (GC-2) Maintenance free, AGM, other).
Now:
The charge wizard is programmed to charge FLOODED WET CELLS, the "Full" Voltages for other types are very slightly different, and depending on the type, it might not do the job as programmed.. NO, I do not know how to modify the program (Well, actually I know how.. but there are some details missing) but it can be done.
Second.. There are several ways to measure the battey state of charge, ONE of them is very accurate (Hydrometer) the rest,,, Not so much. And even with Hydroometers. There are good ones and ... Not so good ones, and PURE JUNK ones.. I've seen/used all 3.
