Disconnect all power sources from camper (110 & 12v). web site or at the Best Converter site which is where we got ours.īelow is page from instruction book that came with new converter. You can get a lot more info on the features/benefits at the Progressive Dynamics mfg. The new converter also comes with a new 12v fuse circuit panel, which has LEDs to show blown fuses, and an led to show the charge mode its in-fun stuff. Its basically a 4 stage charger, that replaces the existing internals of your converter (uses org cabinet and 110v breaker panel). We bought a Progressive Dynamics PD 4645, 45amp replacement converter. Not having to worry bout checking the water when plugged in for extended stays or listening to the fan roar. Then a discussion on RV.net thread got me motivated. But I figured it was time to replace and upgrade.

As far as battery maintenance, this will only be a benefit when on shore power for us.
#MAGNETEK POWER CONVERTER PLUS#
Plus the last trip out-plugged in for 4 days, the water in the batteries had dropped quite a bit.

Our converter, when we have access to power, the fan was getting really loud and ran continuously. Our solar on the other hand, which is working continuously does a good job of maintaining the batteries with its 3 stage charge controller. That type of charging just isn't great for long term battery life. Its main bad point is its a continuous charger, and can boil the battery water out after extended run time. Our original Magnetek 6345 converter/charger worked but we usually aren't hooked to power that long. Replacing the Magnetek 6345 charger/converter with a Progressive Dynamics PD4645
