Upgrading converter
Hey folks! I am looking at the BD 1255 MBA 55 Amp 4-Stage Main Board Replacement. I have a WFCO 8955 PEC. I am looking to upgrade to a couple Golf Cart batteries this year and we do a lot of boon ...

Looks like you mount the remote pendant somewhere more accessible which gives you more control. It claims to be a true, smart 4 stage charger, which would beat the **** out of my single stage. Anyone have any experience with these???
I used to use one with the pendant.
It allows one to switch to the different charge modes manually.
A good feature if one wants to "Boost" charge a battery where the charger is forced into a 14.4 volt charge setting where it will remain until current drops as full charge is approached and then the charger drops to he Absorption phase (~13.8 volt).
I found it also works pretty good to force a conventional converter to charge LiFePo4 batteries at 14.4 volts and accomplish cell balancing.
I eventually just replaced it with a "Lithium" (Progressive Dynamic's) converter. Since I boondock almost exclusively I want my Battleborn batteries to charge as quick as possible while running my generator without having to remember to use the pendant.
