How to Charge Goal Zero Power Bank Using Progressive Dynamics Control Center

Question:

Hello. I need to connect a Goal Zero Power bank to a Progressive Dynamics Power Converter System PD4135KW2B. It seems that the PD Converter System send a 12v current back to the power bank, resulting in the power bank fuse being tripped. Pleas forward me any suggestions. Thank you...

The Goal Zero power bank kits like the Yeti 3000X Lithium Portable Power Station # GZ74FR charge via 120V so to charge this from the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4135K you'll have to run 120V power from the control center to a standard outlet like what you'd find in your house and plug the Yeti in that way.

If you're trying to charge the Goal Zero system using the standard battery connection from the Control Center that won't work because the Control Center is designed to send power to a 12V power bank like a car battery.

If you have a different Goal Zero power system that's designed to pull 12V power please let me know what it is so I can look into this further.
