  • Recommended Tow Bar Wiring Kit for 2016 Smart Fortwo
  • I have a solution for you, but the Blue Ox # BLU79FR is not compatible with your 2016 Smart fortwo Passion.

  • On Board Converter To Use with AGM Batteries
  • I 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.

Per the instructions (included) you will need to remove your existing converter, as it is not designed to work on conjunction with that system.
