Disabling only charger on WFCO 8700 series.
Hey all. Converted to a large Lifepo4 battery and I have a new standalone charger for such as the 8700 series WFCO isn't lithium compatible.
I also have large inverter installed with an automatic transfer switch.
I want to completely disable the charge function from the WFCO so that I can continue to use the WFCO's circuit breakers and 12v fuses for distrubution, but basically leave it only for that.
Without disabling the charge function, when the camper is unplugged and the transfer switch automatically flips over to the inverter, a "loop" is created where the inverter is drawing from the Lifepo4, then that power goes to the WFCO/distribution panel (to power receptacles and such), but the WFCO then will try to charge the battery at the same time....from the battery. Needless to say that's a big wasteful loop and not cool.
Any ideas? Yeah, I could just disconnect the WFCO and go with a standalone panel for both the 120v and 12v side of things, but that would be a PITA.
