Review on Efficient Replacement RV Power Converter Lithium-Ion Main Board - WFCO WF-8950L2-MBA by Loren Jacobson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fully charges our LIFEPO4 batteries.

Fully charges LIFEPO4 batteries. The only caveat is that our caravan was designed with 6 gauge wiring from the batteries to the converter, which appears to limit charging to 20 amps. I'm going to upgrade it to 2 gauge and increase the connection to the trailer chassis to try and at least double that charge current as the charger is rated for 50 amps. When we are in Bundock we use a 3400w generator to charge our batteries when solar charging is not available or practical so it goes without saying that we want to charge as quickly as possible. It's not the charger's fault if the caravan manufacturer underestimates the size of the wiring, as most customers are unlikely to be stymied, and plugging into a 30 amp outlet just means the full replacement will take a few hours more. You can use labels like this to promote a weight-saving half-ton trailer, but that doesn't always work for Boondocker, who likes to build his RV into a self-contained team. I am very satisfied with our WFCO WF-8950L2-MBA Lithium Ion Power Converter Motherboard.
