That kit you linked is for a WFCO converter ....

I didn't know Progressive Dynamics built or sold WFCO converters.

The PD4545 or PD4655 should be an excellent replacement if you have wet cell batteries, ok if you have AGM and not good for gel due to different voltage requirements. You can probably buy one through bestconverter.com.

One of the other things I was thinking of doing was upgrading/changing the converter which is a Magnetex 6345. Is the Magnetek 6300/7300 Upgrade Kit worth the price or should I look to replacing the unit with another manufactures unit.


If you open the link the OP gave it goes to Bestconverter and the picture clearly says World Friendship CO. (WFCO)

The only reason I referred to it is because the first two responses said to get a three stage converter and that is exactly what the OP linked to. I did not want the OP to think his example was not a three stage converter.

Cheers.

FYI

My isolator relay will not only close connecting the both house & Chassis but will close while driving down the road so my chassis batteries get charged by the alternator.

If you do replace that unit, I recommend the Xantrex as do many others for good reason. They are solid as a rock and power factor correction is a huge benefit. That plug and play kit should be fine too and it sure looks like a snap to install. Good luck.
