I replaced my 2008 STarcraft RT14 Power COnverter just after I purchased the Off-road camper in 2009. I went from the ELIXIR 35 model to a WFCO WF8900 series Power Inverter. Love the layout along with the five large 120VAC Circuit Breaker slots along with eleven 12VDC Plug-in fuse distribution points including two REVERSE POLARITY fuse positions.
The WFCO came with a WF8945 Power COnverter which i never could get to work right for my installed additional batteries... It seems to always stay in it's 13.6VDC mode and when it finally boiled out water in in one of my Batteries I figured it was time to replace the bottom shelf WF8945 for something else that would worm.
I went with the Progressive Dynamics PD9260C Charger unit and it started doing what I was wanting to see right out of the box... I initially was going to put this unit in place of the removed WF8945 unit but after looking at thing s I decided to just unplug the WF-8945 Charger unit and mount the PD-9260C further down the DC wiring closer to the battery bank. With the WF8945 being brand new and all I hated to just rip it out and throw away. Now i can switch it back On at a flip of the circuit breaker switch if ever needed in an emergency. It will provide 13.6VDC @ 45 amps capacity.
The PD9260C was the right choice for my battery bank and does a good 50% to 90% smart mode charge in a three hour charge period and will do a full 100% charge in a 12-14 hour Charge Period.
