Re: Battery Question??
pianotuna wrote: abc40kids if you are going to upgrade to a seriously better method of charging it needs to include temperature compensation and the ability to adjust the voltage set points. The PD is better than the WFCO, but light years behind what I'm suggesting. Do you have an inverter? Do you want to acquire one? I'm actually good right now, just trying to figure out why my battery was leaking. I've never had any charging issues at all. I'm gonna use an Odyssey Extreme PC-680 AGM battery.

Never had any charging issues and while my WFCO converter isn't the best I'm told it's not the worst. I'm guessing when it leaks on top it's possibly a bit over-heated or over-charging. If I was to go with a Progressive Dynamics converter would this possibly eliminate the possible over-charging?? I spoke to WFCO and they told me a few things to check to see if the converter is the issue. Everything I checked came back good.... I've been told by two manufactures that my leak issue is probably not an overflow issue but possibly a problem at the positive terminal, maybe a small crack?? Either way I have read the Progressive converter is better and I can get that one thru one of my suppliers so it will be with me next trip if there is an issue. I don't think my converter is bad but I've been camping many times with someone near me with a bad one so maybe I can help someone out if their's goes bad and it will be there if I need it.533Views0likes0CommentsRe: Battery Question??

So I posted this yesterday.... I came home from vacation (Camper stayed home) I noticed white residue on the ground under the battery box and around the positive terminal on the battery. I also noyiced that on the top of the battery it was wet, not like overflowing but just wet around both covers and water levels were good. I un-hooked the battery and cleaned it all up, checked the battery with meter and got like 13.4 then checked the camper ground and positive that goes to camper and got a little over 13. my converter is a WFCO 75 amp 3 stage output by Cheng. I haven't had any issues other than the battery wet on top?? Thanks for any input....532Views0likes0Comments
