Progressive Dynamics PD9160ALV 12V Lithium Ion Battery Converter/Charger - 60 Amp

fast charge, usually starts around 45amps, charges the 120 ah battery in less than 2 hours. I have a 12 compressor in my refer which draws about 8 amps. It depletes my battery in about 9 hours over night. The converter recharges the battery in less than 2 hours. Good charge control, decent chare indicator. I did add a monitor so that I could monitor charge current and voltage.

Easy to install and works as advertised.

I was a little concerned when the box showed up with half the bottom opened. I tested it before installing it in the motorhome. Once installed, I charged the lithium batteries and it works great. Full charge 60 amps until the volts come up and amps went down. Batteries were fully charged at 14.4 volts and shut off. Great Purchase saving money Purchaseing an open box.

This review is based on using this charger for a single 280Ah (four 3.2V in series) battery pack in a small single axle RVBLUF: It's a decent charger for the money. Its lightweight, actually does 65A and is "intelligent" as in tapers off to nothing when the battery is fully charged.The Good: It does 65 Amps. honestly that is all I can say. It has enough for two 4AWG connectors for both the positive and negative. It seems to load sense, like when I have a few lights on, and the battery is fully charged, the ammeter reads zero, but lights are still on. So it pushes out enough power to keep the juice right at 14.3-14.5The Bad: It only does 65A for about 30 minutes. Then it tapers off to 50A for a few hours, and eventually tapers off further until charged. I would have liked it to go full bore 65A until damn near the end since it is marketed as a 65A charger, but perhaps its designed that way based on the chemical composition of the battery. There is no on/off switch on this thing. As soon as you plug it in, its live. I have never seen any piece of electronics without a simple on/off switch.This is specific for Lithium batteries that like the higher voltage. Only reason I am taking a star off is because there is not even the most basic on/off switch. I have this as my new power supply in my RV, so I disconnected the input to the stock charger and have this going to the 15A breaker in the box. Its the only way to actually shut it down. Also if your battery is charged and you turn it on, it wont really kick in until you have lost some juice.

My new Airstream came with a WFCO that is suppose to auto detect the battery type and it failed due to the distance Airstream installed it away from the batteries. This one doesn't auto select, so it solved my problem. I just hooked it up and it worked.

I am very happy with this converter. I'm getting around 60amps of charging rate. I have two Lion Energy Safari UT 1300 lithium batteries. I highly suggest connecting the converter as close as you can to the batteries. I'm using about 5' of 4 gage wire and as you can see in the pictures it's working great. Been using for a few months now and happy with the purchase. I'm able to charge my two batteries at 50% in less than 2 hours. I no longer have to worry about my batteries and that feels good. Well worth the money.

It is a perfect match when going from wet batteries to lithium charger
