The new trailer we purchased earlier this year came with a WFCO 9875. This unit is the 75 amp standalone version, completely enclosed, and uses a standard 120v household plug.
Discovered very quickly it would never go into 14.4v bulk mode. Charge voltage would never go higher than 13.6v regardless how discharged the batteries were. Max charge current at 13.6v was approx. 20-25 amps. Replaced the WFCO 9875 with a PD 9260 (60 amps) we removed from our previous trailer. The PD9260 goes into 14.4 bulk mode automatically with very little drama---easily producing 55-58 amps of charge current if need be.
With the lower rated PD9260 we can get a good charge on our batteries in more or less half the time as the higher rated WFCO 9875.
