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.

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.

Excellent product for my AGM battery and the service at E Trailer is second to none

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.

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

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!

- Transfer Switch and Battery Charger Needed For 30 Amp Shore Power and 3000 Watt Inverter Yes, the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch # 34264403 will work with your 30amp shore power cord and 3000w inverter. Your 3000w inverter will have a running watt rating of 3000 watts which is 25 amps on 120 volt power. The size charger you select will need to reflect the power needed on the 12 volt side for recharging batteries and operating your 12 volt supply.

view full answer... - Upgrading Power Converter/Battery Charger When Switching to 6 Volt Coach BatteriesSwitching your power converter to one like the Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266912 is a much better choice than what came in your 2007 Keystone NRG Toy Hauler. This charger will monitor the batteries and adjust charging to help extend the life of your new 6v batteries like the Bright Way Deep Cycle RV # BRW74FR. As this is a stand alone unit it will likely be somewhat confusing on how to wire it into line on your current power converter. You will need to ensure that...
view full answer... - Different Size Standalone Power Converters Unfortunately Shawn, I have no way to see what parts were installed on your 1995 Hitchiker 2. As you have a standalone power converter you will need to look at your converter to see its power output in amps. Here is a list of the different sizes by the output amperage. 25 Amps # PD922524 30 Amps # PD49RR 35 Amps # 34266167 40 Amps # PD924024A 45 Amps # PD69RR 55 Amps # 34266169 60 Amps # PD9260C 75 Amps # 34266170 80 Amps # PD9280A 100 Amps # 34266912
view full answer... - Replacement Converter for WFCO WF-68100The Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266912 is the only option we have that matches the same amperage output of 100 amps. This has the Bulk, Absorption, and Float charging modes just like your 68100. It also has Equalization which activates to prevent stratification and sulfate buildup during extended float cycles. The converter is compatible with flooded lead acid and AGM batteries.
view full answer... - On Board Converter To Use with AGM BatteriesI recommend looking at the Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266912 which has a maximum output of 14.4v and is designed to work with AGM batteries. This is the most powerful converter and smart battery charger we have and it is rated much higher than the 13.6v max on the Progressive Dynamics 9100 series converters like the # PD9130. Per the instructions (included) you will need to remove your existing converter, as it is not designed to work on conjunction with that system.
view full answer... - AC Powered Winch Recommendation with Over 90 feet of Wire RopeNone of the Dutton Lainson winches like the part # DL24872 that you referenced have close to that length of wire rope and are not able to support that additional length due to the size of the drum and the strength rating of the winch. If you can get by with close to that length, the best recommendation I can give you is the Bulldog Winch Utility Winch # BDW10004 which has 85 feet of cable. To get past the 90 feet of cable if you absolutely need that length you would need the Bulldog Winch...
