Problems with new converter

Sorry Charie ,I've become an old windbag with brain fade.

I found loose fuse holder connection that was causing a loss of converter output to the house battery, while looking for burnt fuses. Check tightness of allen head set screws at converter case that clamp onto heavy guage wires that connect to the house battery(s) Check all positive and ground connections that go to and from the house batteries. You can also check whether converter/charger is outputting power by touching the allen head screws on the connectors on the converter case with your voltmeter probes. Set voltmeter on 20 volt DC range. It would probably be worth your while to replace your old converter with a modern converter charger that will charge, but not over charge and boil out your house battery electrolyte.

Which is exactly what the OP has already done by installing the new Progressive Dynamics Converter.......... but it failed.

I tried everything, but no love. So I called Progressive Dynamics and after having me run a couple of quick checks, they just sent me out a new one. Once I get it in, I will send back the old one. They covered postage both ways.

If those fuses checked good with a meter (not just visual) I am thinking warranty time.

Verify you have 120V AC input to converter

Remove both reverse polarity fuses (30A)

With 120V AC input......test DC output at the battery pos/neg cable terminals
DC output should be 13.2V Minimum

If less..call Progressive Dynamics S/B 2 yr warranty

Be sure you've troubleshooted from the manual before calling.
