Yes. In order to use the 12v DC functions on the distribution panel of the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 90 Amp # PD4590K18LS8 you will need to have a 12v power supply connected to the control box. This will require at least 1- 12v battery or 2- 6v batteries wired in series to supply power to the 12v DC circuits in this panel. Even though you are planning on supplying power via a generator or shore power, those are AC currents and the converter will work to convert power from those to charge those batteries; it will not directly supply DC power to the control panel to work in place of a battery.

This power does not come with the fuses or breakers required to supply power, so you will need to source those locally.
