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.
Automatic Multistage Charging System
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.
Charging Modes
- Bulk: This mode charges at the full rated load for a quicker recharge time. As the name suggests, this is where the bulk of the charging happens. It typically charges the battery to at least 80% capacity.
- Absorption: This mode provides controlled voltage to ensure a full charge. Once the battery reaches between 80% to 90% capacity, the absorption state will kick in and start charging at a regulated voltage.
- Float: Once the battery reaches full charge, this mode maintains a lower voltage to compensate for self-discharge. This reduces battery stress and minimizes gassing and water loss.
- Equalization: On flooded batteries, this mode activates to prevent stratification and sulfate buildup during extended float cycles. These two issues can damage a battery by causing the accumulation of acid at the bottom of the battery and hardened sulfate crystals on the battery plates. This mode is especially helpful when your battery is going unused during storage.
Safety Features
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.
How It Installs
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.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Go Power 12V 75 Amp Smart Battery Charger. Now this smart battery charger will quickly charge your RV battery using the state-of-the-art converter switch mode technology. This battery charger's reliable, compact and lightweight, and it's designed specifically to extend the life of deep-cycle battery banks.For your RV system, it features high continuous output to feed your 12V loads when plugged in to shore power. It is a compact, lightweight design. Does use the switchable output modes, float charging and rapid charging. Does have built-in 4-stage charger.
Uses automatic equalization stage to periodically boost your charge batteries. Has short circuit and reverse polarity protection, overload protection.On the very back here you can see does have a thermostatically controlled fan. On the front, has two fuses, two 40 amp fuses for fuse protection. It's very easy to install, you just connect your battery cables right here on this end. The other end you plug in the 30 inch long AC cord and plug.
Does work with battery types 12V AGM or flooded lead acid. Output voltage is 13.6 V DC. Output amperage is 75 amps. Input voltage range is 105V - 135 V AC. Maximum power output is 1065 watts.
The weight on this is right about 5 pounds.A few dimensions on this. The overall length, and when I measure the length I'm going to measure the furthest point, so right here to right here. So, overall length is going to be right at 9 3/4 inches long. The width on it, we'll measure the widest, which is where the mounting tabs are, so you're right at 7 3/4 inches wide. The depth of it or the height of it is going to be right at 3 1/2 inches.Does come with this nice owner's manual that describes how to hook it up and how to use it.
Again, just to go over on each end, we have right down here your DC out terminals that your battery cables connect to, the two 40 amp fuses, has a status light right here and then the ground terminal right here. On this end, again, is the thermostatically controlled fan and the 30 inch long AC cord and plug.But that should do it for the review on the Go Power 12V 75 amp Smart Battery Charger.

My first experience was awesome the staff was so helpful with knowledge and with the purchase itself. Shipping was quicker than anticipated especially so close to the holidays. I will definitely call on them again and highly recommend them.

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.

Unit is used as back up power at night to my home solar system. Has been running for a year with zero problems.
by: Mark10/06/2022
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.

Other than ups holding it in Carlisle for 2 days awesome movement across the country opened it for pictures well packed in there

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.

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.

Bought a tv battery charger and it works great. Delivery was quick and price was fair!
by: Red L03/28/2021
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
by: Gerald 05/04/2023
It works perfectly the way it supposed to.
by: Bradley08/28/2018
So far so good. Replaced an older 55 amp converter that stopped functioning. This will be hooked to shore power permanently and power all DC components, as well as charge the battery bank in a shower trailer. Hopefully it lasts!
by: David03/02/2022
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.
by: Christine 08/27/2022
Easy install and does a great job keeping my AGM batteries topped off.
by: Jesse 04/19/2021
Perfect replacement for original from rv factory. Old unit started 'fan whining' so I decided to replace it with this unit. Four screws, plug in and your done. Great product, great price, fast delivery!
by: Ronald 09/05/2022
Excellent product for my AGM battery and the service at E Trailer is second to none
by: Justin07/09/2019
Zero installation instructions. Good thing it isn't too complicated.

- What is Needed to Change Battery Bank to Lithium BatteriesIf I am following correctly you have a complete system in place already but bought new lithium chemistry batteries and want to change out the previously installed with the new Battle Born. If the solar charge controller you refer to is the Go Power PWM, # 34276119 then there is no need to change this out as it works with sealed/gel, AGM, and flooded lead acid, and lithium iron phosphate batteries. You will however need to select the correct preset charging profile for your type battery....
