No, the Progressive Dynamics PD9200 Series Battery Converter Charger with Charge Wizard # PD9260C reads the battery's charge level and adjusts the charge it sends to the battery accordingly so you can have multiple things charging the battery at the same time. We get this question all the time when people add solar to their RV's and it will not cause any issues.
