What's The Difference Between The Progressive Dynamics # PD9160A And # PD9160ALV Converters
Question:
I want to upgrade Rv converter. I saw someone said use progressive dynamic 9160. But there are 2- an av and an AVL. Which do I need? We have 2 200 amp batteries now but will probably and another 200 when we add 600 w more solar panels. Does that matter?

Expert Reply:
The difference between the two models that you were researching is that the # PD9160A is designed for use with lead acid batteries and the # PD9160ALV is designed for use with lithium batteries. Choosing the incorrect battery profile can lead to issues charging your batteries so it's important to pick the right one for your setup.
If you have lead acid and want to change to lithium later on without having to also replace the converter then you'll want to go with the # PD79RR instead since it can handle both charging profiles.
