I'll look into the 60 or 70 amp PD. I think 80 is larger from the pics
According to the pics and listed dimensions, the 80 amp is 3 inches longer and just under 2 lbs heavier and $28.Input: 105-130 VAC, 1300 Watts
Output: 13.6 VDC, 80 Amps
Dimensions: 3.6" X 11.5 X 9
Weight: 7.5 lbs.
Any reason NOT to go with the 80 amp? On battery power, will it run hotter, use more 12v, or anything else?
I'd really appreciate an opinion on PD 9280C 80 Amp RV Converter/Charger, found at Best Converter
Progressive Dynamics is pretty much top of the line, right?
the only reason I have for not going as big as you can get relates to your generator choice. In the case of the OP he is probably ok with anything. with a honda 2000, A PD 60A is pushing the limit for the honda VA rating, Power factor is terrible. the 80A exceeds the honda 2000 VA rating when at max output current.
PD, Iota, boondocker are all good units. I have a 45A in my small trailer and a 55A drop in the WFCO box along with a 60A in the pass through I can parallel with in my big trailer. That way with shore power or honda's paralleled I can get over 100A into my 4GC bank if needed.
