LiFePO4 Converter Change?
I just want to switch from lead acid to lithium, not upgrade wires and everything else. Finding a new replacement board for my WF-8955PEC seems to be complicated. Straight 14.6V continuous boost singl...

“This generally gives the standard PD or the PowerMax with adjustable voltage an advantage. Both drop to 13.2 volts for long term.”
Agreed, a PD 9245 is what I have (with tethered CW for ‘boost’ mode) though I mostly charge via solar, and only occasionally to 100% SOC…However, when seeking a full charge (say for periodic cell balancing and SOC meter resync’s) I prefer 14.4 for boost voltage…I discontinue charging (assuming shore power…) once cell balancing has completed, and since we primarily camp off-grid, don’t bother with a ‘float’ mode…Thereafter, 660w *solar and 400a/hr LFP typically fills-in any daily consumption gaps…
