Replacing PD 9145A

[BigWapiti]

I need to replace my power converter (PD 9145A).

Since I'm needing to replace it - should I replace it with the same make/model unit or are there better options that I should go with instead?

What happened to the one you have? You may want to upgrade a bit, depending on your answer.

If you are planing on installing an inverter in the near future, consider buying an inverter/charge/automatic transfer switch.

Remove your current converter and wire the DC distribution panel directly to the battery. Wire the inverter/charge/automatic transfer switch directly to the battery. Wire the exterior shore power inlet to the inverter and the AC output of the inverter to the AC breaker panel. DONE !

Generally and “nowadays” no electronic device should be replaced with the exact same model.

Excellent, I was just coming back to ask that very question. I'm finding the Progressive Dynamics PD9245CV (Inteli-Power 9200 Series Converter/Charger with Charge Wizard - 45 Amp).

Looks like this is a better model to go with then? I just don't want to fry anything,... again.
