Excellent price for tools and equipment

Replaces the exact original in our 2006 motorhome. Significantly cheaper than auto parts stores. The fact is that this one was equipped with a plug for 110 sockets, and the original was connected directly to the switch box. We had to cut the connector off and plug it in straight away, great that the wires were the same color on both the old and new.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Reliability

Our trip saved! in Jump Starters, Chargers & Portable Power

Converter failed in our RV during our summer trip. Revain trusted me to ship a replacement transducer direct to our campsite. Choose the exact same converter model as the original lasted 13 years! It took a cell phone repairman 20 minutes to install and we're back in business! I look forward to another 13 years in this period.

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
  • Faulty

Great solution to your battery problem!

This unit completely solved the 12v conversion and bus battery charging problems that had plagued us for months. I had an old 55 amp 9000 that was falling apart. It's a 1996 Fleetwood, so it's understandable. We bought this much more sophisticated converter plus master unit for less than buying the 9200 version with the master built in. It works amazingly well and installation was very easy.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write later

Great item in the Tools & Equipment section

This replaces the 9145 which lasted 15 years! I have no complaints. I run it with an optional charge master and it will keep a couple of 6v golf cart batteries I bundled fully charged and quickly recharged. The charge assistant maintains the correct charge level, so I don't have to keep adding water. In fact, before adding it I took out my batteries for the winter and charged them up, now I just leave them in the Northeast all winter. This is great as we have several power outages during the…

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Construction
Cons
  • Non Automatic

My converter was naughty and I searched and read everything I could find to make sure I found the best product. I found this! and it's a great product and it does exactly what it does. In fact, I ordered a Charge Master LED screen so I always know what's happening in my camper. It is very quiet and seems to work absolutely perfectly. Even if you go to the dealer, like Campingwelt, it will cost you your children's college fund. I am a true Revain customer and buy from them because of their…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall
Cons
  • When in doubt

. There's a simple reason I'm not giving this 5 stars, and that's because I don't think the manufacturer makes it clear that this device doesn't have an integrated Total Charge Management System (TCMS). It's just compatible with that. The first thing you will notice when you take it out of the box is that it is highly recommended to buy the Charge Master to manage the converter's battery charge. I now realize that if I had chosen the Progressive Dynamics 9200 series over the 9100 series, TCMS…

Pros
  • Wide Range
Cons
  • Zero

Good DC quality and performance

I really like this converter/charger which I use as part of an uninterruptible power supply and line conditioner for my home theater equipment (except amp). A few weeks ago I bought a cheaper unit from a competitor and hooked it up to an AGM battery and a 120V pure sine wave inverter. When the previous unit turned on the voltage rose above 15V causing the inverter to go in switched protection mode and shed the load. And that previous device's fan ran 75% of the time, even with a load of just…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

Very disappointed - totally ruined my batteries

Not sure if the Revain product or service is any worse. I bought this unit for my RV. I bought a new set of batteries for 100.00 pieces. The first indication of a problem was the rotten egg smell you get when the sulfuric acid boils in your batteries. Long story short, this 12V charger was outputting over 20V and about 14V low. 14 must be greater than the high level. I spent a lot of time checking all the existing wiring on my trailer before removing the unit and reconnecting the original. I…

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
