Will my WFCO 55 amp over charge?

WFCO converters use a voltage and current sense along with timers, if too much current is being drawn during storage and the voltage is low enough over a specified time limit it will never go into storage mode (13.2V)

And yet when I replaced the POS WFCO, my problems went away.

They are well known for never going into bulk charge and not cycling storage. They are cheap junk POS.

:R

And yet, I did mention different converters handle some conditions better than others and some not as good.

I am merely telling you what the problem is and how you can adjust or correct the issue.

You could have saved yourself a lot of expense just by increasing the wire size (which is what others with same WFCO converters have reported on this forum). New wire is far, far cheaper than replacing a converter.

While I have a PD I would not be afraid of WFCO if I had one, just takes a WILLINGNESS to learn what the reasons are as to why it does or does not do and how to correct. You sir, most definitely are unwilling to learn :h

I'll trade you your PD for my WFCO then!
FWIW, after 2 campers with PD converters, I was surprised with our new camper with a WFCO that it never seemed to fully charge the batteries.
Although I have left it plugged in 24-7 and now after most of a year, still haven't needed to add water.
Last year camping I was ready to yard the wfco out and replace it, but I think it's a whole integrated fuse panel/converter. And I haven't really pulled it apart and looked at what it would take to replace. I know it's not just a standalone unit like in our old campers.
