This RV power control center combines an AC/DC panel with a smart converter charger. Creating easy access to your electrical connections, this all-in-one breaker box distributes AC and DC loads to your RV and charges your batteries while connected to shore power. It's compatible with lithium and lead acid batteries.
AC/DC Electrical Distribution
The panel supplies AC and DC distribution to your RV's electrical system. The AC section has space for up to 3 breakers rated for 120V at 30 amps. This lets you have up to 6 branch circuits when you use tandem breakers. The DC section has 12 branch fuse holders capable of using (2) 30 amp and (10) 20 amp fuses. However, you will need to purchase AC breakers and DC fuses separately to complete the installation.
Once all of your connections are made, the breakers and fuses are easily accessible by opening the door on the front of the box. The door also includes a blank label to list all of the connections.
Multifunctional Converter Charger
The integrated converter charger changes AC shore power into DC power to charge your battery bank. It includes an output mode switch that lets you choose either lithium or lead acid batteries. No matter what type of battery is installed in your RV, you'll always have the most efficient charging profile. If your RV already has a stock converter charger, it will need to be removed to ensure this unit operates properly.
Charging Profile Designed for Lithium Batteries
In lithium mode, the unit uses a higher output voltage, which provides a fast, complete charge. It also extends battery life since it utilizes the appropriate charging profile. Additionally, this mode is compatible with your battery's internal Battery Management System (BMS), which helps manage the charge cycle by monitoring the battery state and balancing cell voltage.
Charge Wizard for Lead Acid Batteries
In lead acid mode, the Charge Wizard automatically switches voltages while your lead acid battery bank charges. This accelerates the charge but also helps extend battery life by adjusting the voltage during the different modes. This function is compatible with flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries.
Charging Modes
- Boost: This mode charges at the full rated load for a quicker recharge time. This is where most of the charging happens. It charges the battery up to 90% of the full capacity.
- Normal: This mode provides controlled voltage to ensure a full charge. Once the battery begins to reach capacity, the normal state will kick in and reduce the voltage to safely complete the charge.
- Storage: Once the battery reaches full charge and remains unused for 30 hours, this mode maintains a lower voltage to compensate for self-discharge. This reduces battery stress and minimizes gassing and water loss.
- Equalization: This mode activates to prevent stratification and sulfate buildup during extended storage 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. Additionally, the unit includes protection for overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent, which can damage your equipment, as well as the converter. The built-in cooling fan also removes excess heat from the unit. The fan speed is proportional to the internal temperature of the converter, so when the power demand is low, the fan will operate quietly.

This 2-in-1 AC/DC distribution panel and converter charger keeps your power systems easily accessible inside the RV. Works with lithium and lead acid batteries. Uses a custom charging profile for lithium and multistage charging for lead acid.by: Dan01/13/2024
A little bit confusing when speaking with sale team, received conflicting information regarding converters application. Shipping was fast but converter container was damaged and poorly packed for sensitive electronics. Previous business with etrailer has been stellar. May be awhile before I can hookup converter, so hopeful nothing was damaged!
by: Larry04/23/2024
Nice unit, I wish the exterior would be something other than plastic and the install directions were more precise. The PD045 sits close to the floor and a case of something other than plastic would be more durable. Perhaps an aluminum cover would help. The new unit replaced a 25yo and my Leisure Travel RV. The new 4045 works well. It took a year to installs as I could not find a local RV place that would work on the replacement. Decided to educate myself and installed the unit this spring ( I bought the 4045 model last summer). The etrailer install videos were useful as well as numerous YouTube guides. However, much better manufacturer instructions would have saved a lot of time.
by: Bruce 02/13/2024
This all-in-one power center is very well designed. Made to keep on-board batteries continuously charged, plenty of room for branch circuit breakers and 12v circuits. Built-in ventilation fan to keep the electronics cool. It comes in a smart looking case with hinged door access to the breakers and fuses and led indicator lights showing blown fuse location. Vey pleased with my choice of a distribution center for my trailer rebuild.
by: Dave06/03/2023
I wasn't sure if I was able to do this job myself. Our last converter was making a high pitch sound that drove her crazy. I could not hear it. But I labeled all the wiring before disconnecting them from the original one. It was a pain being on the floor to do the work, but probably save 500. By not taking it to a dealer. Make sure to get the same exact model number of the one you have before you order your part. You can do it.
by: Jason 10/16/2023
Fast shipping,after installation the product works as should. I like the option to use a lithium battery in the future. Thanks
by: David 01/26/2022
I bought this converter to replace the stock converter in my Geo Pro trailer. I switched to a lithium battery, and this converter is built with a switch so in works with both lead acid and lithium batteries. Used the trailer full time last year for 11 weeks and the converter worked flawlessly.

It has worked flawlessly since I installed it. Would definitely purchase it again

It was an exact fit for my RV. The converter has been working great since I installed it.

Item works perfectly so far very good w orkmanship
by: Donald 10/31/2021
We live in our rv full time and the installation of this power inverter was a great upgrade. I needed one that would charge our lithium batteries while plugged in ana it has worked flawlessly. It is a little smaller then the old outdated one, but was easy to remedy.

working flawlessly. Pretty much plug in the rv and forget it. It does let out a loud squealing noise when you first plug in but it goes away within 30 seconds.
by: Jeffrey F.12/08/2019
Took me about 2 days to install had to figure out all the color and number codes on on the DC side, but after figuring out and connecting, everything all works great. My battery is now staying charged, yahoo!
by: Neil 01/23/2023
This has worked great so far, I haven't used the battery charge function, however everything else has been great.
by: Mark03/24/2022
Unfortunately this converter was not a “drop-in” replacement (as advertised by PD) for the existing converter in my trailer. It’s actual dimensions are larger and would not fit in my existing converter space. I should have double checked the specs. More disconcerting was that it was shipped without the factory packaging and manuals by etrailer. It came in a box with paper padding that seemed inadequate to protect sensitive electronics. etrailer needs to do better than this.

Powerful unit that serves my rv well!
by: Kim M12/19/2020
This product is great. It took a little bit of time to put in but was worth it. No more overheating or humming as the previous converter had been doing. There is even extra spots available if you want to add another breaker. The color coding on the wires made it easy to hook up without tangling the cables. I would highly recommend this product.

The converter is still working well a year later. Never gets hot or hums. Fantastic replacement for my needs.
by: Dave C07/19/2020
Replaced a 16 year old converter that had mostly unfiltered dc circuits, which would measure at 12v at no load but, to my surprise, would rise to 23v under load. This caused LED light bulbs to run very hot and caused the max-air fan to stop running. Bought this new converter and it fixed the 12 system issues! The LED’s stay cool, the fan works and the kingdom is at peace. I also like the battery charging intelligence that keeps the house battery charged without overcharging.
by: Michael09/02/2021
I’ve ordered from a trailer multiple times. Pretty disappointing when I received a converter worth a few hundred dollars not packaged properly. I’m just hoping that it works so that I don’t have to send it back. But on this occasion it was very surprising/disappointing. Anyways, that’s my two bits!

I apologize for the state of your package. Please let customer service know if there is anything wrong with it within a 60 day timeframe.
by: Hilldweller03/11/2022
It's doing the job but I wish it had a charge profile specific to a LiFePo4 battery, no just lithium in general. I've monitored the voltages it's throwing at the battery and they're not ideal. Battleborn has built in protections for the battery and they recommended this converter, but I'd still like it to be tuned a bit better.
by: Paul M06/09/2021
The power box was good .when we loaded out the motor home,somehow they pulled the main power cable apart inside the casting and you could not see it .So now I have a spare box .Still have not used the motor home since,this stupid lockdown we cannot go no where
by: Greg04/08/2022
Quality product. Great phone support from Progressive Dynamics. Replaced a WFCO unit and needed some clarification on the wiring ... needed to wire the 12V main power lines slightly different than the WFCO, but support clarified how to do it! eTrailer and YouTube videos also helped!
by: Craig06/24/2023
Great service always thanks
by: Kris 09/26/2022
Came quick, easy to install, improvement over the old one. Definitely these are the folks to go to.
by: David 09/02/2022
It would be 5 star but the face plate keeps popping off the tabs. For safety for grand kids I drilled and installed 4 screws holding on the face plate. The plastic tabs that secure the face plate need to be strengthened.
by: Jared02/19/2023
Has been working great for a year now!
by: Charles08/14/2022
5 stars as I am very happy with all the products purchased from eTrailers. Always great products at a fair price. Thanks!
by: Sean02/03/2022
Last two items I’ve ordered from etrailer, have arrived BROKEN. Poor packaging is the issue. I’m growing tired of having to contact you to sort out your issues, causing my business costly delays. Next one will be accompanied by an invoice. Wake up etrailer.

See what our Experts say about this Progressive Dynamics RV Converters
- Lithium Battery Converter Solution for WF8935We've actually spoken with Progressive Dynamics in the past about your exact converter and they don't have a replacement center section and you would need a new panel, the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger part # PD4045KA. The Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger now comes with a lithium switch.
view full answer... - Can a Higher Amp RV Converter Be Used for ReplacementI don't recommend using a higher amp converter as the converter size is based on the load of the trailer and there would be no real benefit of going with an overrated option. That said, if you want to go up 5 amps or so that shouldn't really be a problem but any higher you can run into issues. The Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger part # PD4045KA is rated for 45 amps but if you need a different size you can select this from the list below.
view full answer... - What Does 45 Amps Mean on Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart ChargerThe Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger part # PD4045KA has a 45 amp capacity which is for the converter and is in direct current (DC). There are six branches for alternating current (AC) circuit breakers. The breaker branches are each rated for a max of 30 amps.
view full answer... - Replacement Fuse Panel and Converter/Smart Charger for a 1999 Skyline RVYou are correct that you will need a whole new "fuse block". The Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4045KA will work for this purpose. The Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4045KA needs cut out dimensions of 10-3/4" long x 7-1/4" tall for installation. If this will not fit for your needs, please provide me with some more information on what you are needing and I would be happy to help you further.
view full answer... - Can A solar Power System Be Wired In Along With The Progressive Dynamics Power Center Yes, the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 45 Amp # PD4045KA will be wired separately from the solar system to the battery and has the ability to read the charge level of the battery, even when other systems are charging it, and adjust accordingly.

view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For A Parallax 7345 Power Center The Parallax 7345 has a 45 amp converter in it so the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 45 Amp # PD4045KA you were looking at would be a perfect replacement for it. They'll just need to flip the small switch (pictured below) to the "LI" setting to switch the converter to lithium mode. This unit requires a cutout hole 10-3/4" long x 7-1/4" tall, so they can remove the mounting screws of their current unit to measure the cutout and see if any alterations...

This power center requires a 10-3/4" long x 7-1/4" tall cutout hole so you may need to make alterations to your cutout hole to cover any gaps. I typically just cut down a 1/4" thick piece of wood to cover the hole and cutout the correct sized hole for the power center to mount to the piece of wood.
