So what is the real scoop on the 8955?
For those who don't rely solely on battery power often or don't deep discharge on a frequent basis the WFCO 8955 works just fine. The most common complaint is that as installed it rarely bulk charges at it's advertised 14.4 volts, a situation exacerbated by the trailer manufacturer just sticking the converter wherever there may be room, regardless of how far that may be from the battery location, and using light weight cable, usually 6 gauge, to wire it in. On a workbench, set up to bulk charge a deeply discharged battery, it might well achieve 14.4 volts ... but that does little good for those of us wanting to charge in the real world. :R Mine works fine but I've simply turned it off and instead use a portable CTEK charger that does bulk charge @ 14.4 volts - problem solved. :)
