The only difference between the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger # PD9160A and the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # PD9260C is the charging cycles. The # PD9160A only has one charging cycle at 13.4 amps, while the # PD9260C has a Charging Wizard with 4 charging cycles to help extend the life of your batteries.
The integrated Charge Wizard monitors your RV's batteries and automatically begins charging when needed. It has the following four stages:
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.
