Can I Use the Same Wiring Setup from My # PD9260C to Install the # PD9160ALV?
Question:
I have a 2022 Grand Design 5th Wheel that came with 2 Lead Acid batteries, a solar charger lithium capable in addition to LA capable with 165W panel, and a PD9260C. I want to remove the 2 Lead Acid batteries and replace with a SOK 206Ah Lithium. Is the wiring for the PD9260C the same as the 9160ALV, such that I can easily swap in the new unit without needing to replace anything? If I think I might add an additional 206Ah battery in 2-3 years, would it be better to install the PD9180ALV instead? Or would the extra amperage output of the PD9180ALV be damaging to the one 206Ah battery and/or be incompatible with the rest of the OEM wiring and power system in the trailer.

I confirmed with my tech at Progressive Dynamics that the Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger - Lithium # PD9160ALV has the same wiring setup as the Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # PD9260C.
As far as upgrading to the 80-amp Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger # PD9180ALV with the 206Ah battery, it will be compatible with your setup, but you need to update the 120 volt feed to the converter to a 20 amp service.
