Our existing WFCO is 55 amps.
The basic/low-cost WFCOs are known to cause batteries to boil. We had a battery failure on a battery only about a year old earlier this year. Don't know if it was related but would rather have a quality converter that won't let us down some day when needed the most.
Still not sure what a converter rating is based on. Is it the total DC load in an RV, recharge time or total battery capacity, or all?
Yes, it might be a good idea just to wait until our WFCO packs it in before upgrading. I have been thinking about installing an AGM battery inside our TT near the converter. I believe that a basic WFCO converter isn't the best choice for an AGM?
