You guys have convinced me that it is time to ditch the WFCO converter. It looks like it comes down to these two contenders. The PowerMax is about $100 less than the PD one. Any reason to spring for the extra $100 for the PD? I will be using this with two Duracell GC2 batteries (already purchased, ready to install).

It would pause charging for a moment when it changed modes. Not a big deal, as it let you know by the lights dimming when it happened. Actually kind of a good thing after the WFCO. It lasted about 8 years of very heavy use. At that point I was getting ready to sell that TT, so I reinstalled the WFCO. I have had several PDs. They just work. There is no sign of them switching modes at all...But they do, every time I have checked it. Just more refined than the Boondocker is all.
