Replacement for a WFCO Converter - WF-8845

Question:

My WF-8845 bit the big one this weekend and I need a recommendation of what to replace it with. I am merely using two 6V Interstate batteries. The WF-8845 will not come up on the internet...so Im a bit lost. Can you help? This converter is for a 2004 Fleetwood Tioga SL Class-C and is what came with it when new. Hope that helps.

We do have a solution available for you. I suggest you replace your current inoperable WF-8845 with a Progressive Dynamics option as these are solid and reliable units that are very cost effective. The 12VDC, 45 Amp, Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger, # PD9245C matches well to the specs of your current WF-8845. This unit will work with flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries but has the advantage over the WF-8845 being equipped with a smart charger. This mode is especially helpful when your battery is going unused during storage.

If you are interested in upgrading your battery bank to a lithium chemistry, I suggest the 12V - 45 Amp, Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger, # PD9145ALV. This is basically the same charger listed above but set for need charge rates and profiles of lithium chemistry.
