I tried real hard to get my 45AMP WFCO to go into boost charge mode. Changed out to large battery cables moved the WFCO within 6-inches of the batteries and all I could ever was maybe 30 seconds of 14.4VDC BOOST charge.
I suspected I was not dropping my battery charge state low enough to have the WFCO product to kick-in. After a few more low batteries I give up and changed out my WFCO WF8945 converter/charger for a PD9260C. This was back in 2009 and have never had a battery problems since then.
I never could figure out the "why" as almost all of the trailer units come out with the WFCO products... There are also some folks that swear by the WFCO Converter products as well. As stated above there are many many others who get rid of them as soon as they can including myself. Go Figure....
I am still using the WFCO WF8900 series power distribution center with the somewhat brand new WF8945 Converter/charger unit in it. My PD9260C replacement converter/charger is used stand alone just five feet away from my battery banks... I can use either converter/charger by just throwing the proper 120VAC circuit breaker on. This gives me a backup converter/charger setup if needed. I however have never used the WF8945 45AMP Converter/charger since then...
