Parallax converter vs Progressive Dynamics

My Parallax converter Model 7455 has died. Should I replace it with another Parallax or switch to Progressive Dynamics PD 9260? More amps on Progressive-more charging stages- nearly half price. Will hookups be the same? Should I get the monitor with the Progressive?

    Go with the Pro. Much better unit. Changed mine earlier this year.
    I suggest taking pictures of the wiring before. Make sure you number all the wires. On mine they were all red or green.

    The PD4655 is an easier replacement than the PD9260. Here are the directions for replacing the 7355 with the 9260. The 4655 is a drop in replacement.

    Did the PD9260 swap several years ago, very easy straight forward task. No more boiled house batteries. Get the Wizard pendant if it is not included in the deal.

    Just swapped my wfco for the pro 9200 80amp in my new to me class a. I put one in my toyhauler and water depletion in my batteries went way down. I also had 5 yrs on my batts that were still going strong when I sold it thanks to that converter.
