Smart converter charger extends RV battery life by fighting sulfation during storage. Multistage charging process switches modes to ensure a quick, complete charge. Converts AC shore power to DC power to run 12V loads at the campground.
Features:
Specs:
The smart converter charger converts AC shore power into DC power and uses a multistage charging system to charge your battery bank. If your RV already has a stock converter charger, it will need to be removed to ensure this unit operates properly.
Using a multistage charging system, the converter charger automatically switches voltages while the battery bank charges. This accelerates the charge, but also helps extend battery life by adjusting the voltage during the different modes. This charger is compatible with flooded lead acid and AGM batteries only. Do not use gel cell batteries as they can be damaged by the higher voltages of this charger.
The system includes a number of safety features. It has a reverse polarity protection that will protect the converter if the battery is hooked up incorrectly. It has short circuit protection as well, which limits the current and reduces the output until the short has been fixed. Additionally, the over current protection includes cycle-by-cycle peak limiting and rated current limiting. The built-in cooling fan also removes excess heat from the unit. The fan speed is proportional to the internal temperature on the converter, so the fan will turn on and off slowly to minimize noise.
The smart converter charger mounts inside your RV in a dry location with ventilation. The DC output terminals wire to the battery bank. The AC in cord plugs into a 120V 3-wire grounded source.

Since install it has kept my batteries charged. Works great!
Unit is used as back up power at night to my home solar system. Has been running for a year with zero problems.
Other than ups holding it in Carlisle for 2 days awesome movement across the country opened it for pictures well packed in there
It has officially lasted longer than the unit that came with my RV. I hate that I couldn't mount it where the original lived but it does the job well. It is nearly always in use as well. If you're on the fence, grab it.
We used this on a fire truck to maintain the battery while plugged into a shoreline for various tools to charge. Works great and has kept the battery from dying while in-house
Works great, a little loud sometimes, but we knew that in advance. Has been a great addition to our van and travels. We often try to camp dispersed, but when we have power, it's great to have the converter and be able to recharge our batteries, especially if low solar gain is in play. We love it.
Zero installation instructions. Good thing it isn't too complicated.
Shipping finally made it. I asked how it would be shipped you said either UPS or Fed Ex not USPS. You shipped it mail.. We do not have home delivery so it must go to the PO Box, different address than our street address.It went to 2 Post Offices Fortunatly our Post Office folks know us and they were able to get the package to us Please check instructions before shipping. We do like the product and it was only a couple of days late. Thanks for listening Mike
Works great just what I needed!
Great
Excellent for the price.
Arrived a head of schedule time
It functios well. My only complaint is the cooling fan makes a high pitched whine when it runs. It's quite loud. .
At work from the day, I plugged it in still works great job
The product would have worked well with multiple modifications to the RV charger location, adding a DC ground to the RV frame, and modifications to the the charger attachment tabs to mount in the original charger location. After purchase and receipt of this charger I found a direct replacement of the original Parallax charger that would not require any modifications which I purchased and installed. I am keeping the Go power unit for a spare unit and charging our boat battery.
Works great easy install.
Charger is working like it should and I’m happy with my purchase. Was not happy with the way it was packaged in a box lose with no packing what so ever. Would not think shipping electronics this way is a good idea.
This was a replacement part, but an upgrade from what was in place. I used this because it has a fixed output and a four stage charger. It also has an adjustable voltage output. My client is a full-timer and stationary and connected to shore power. So the battery is rarely used. I like that I can easily toggle this to a fixed output, set the voltage, and disconnect the battery. Ironically, this was needed after I replaced the failed converter. The batteries went bad, so I just disconnected the batteries and didn't miss a beat. The batteries have a solar charger on them, so they stay topped off. Great product, but the adjustable function is something you should read about and understand before connecting this into your system.
Bought a tv battery charger and it works great. Delivery was quick and price was fair!
It works perfectly the way it supposed to.
Do you have a question about this RV Converter?
