I have the Magnetek 45amp batt charger. Bill Hemme has posted A very
detailed upgrade to this system. (Thanks Bill)...I am wodering if anyone has upgraded to the WFCO system (easier to install) from Bestconverter.com ?? I would love to hear your comments

Joe....I too am looking at changing out the Magnetek for the WFCO 9800 series and would be interested in others thoughts.
Also looking at the 6 volt Trojan 105 or the 125. Anyone have either in their Born Free and how did they fit in the tray. My tray measures 13 x 14-1/4 and the 105 and the 125 both measure 10-3/8 x 7-1/8. Height should be no problem.
Thanks....Jack

Progressive Dynamics PD9160A & Trojan 125
We also put the Progressive Dynamics PD9160A unit into our 2002 RSB unit, this along with the conversion to two Trojan 125 6 volt batteries (fit tight, but well in our coach), has made all of the difference in the world. We considered the WFCO system previous to our conversion, but could not find anyone who really had good things to say about it. The unit seems to be more available now, so maybe that is a step in the right direction. As an aside, we were able to sell the Parallax 7345 unit we removed on Ebay

battery charger
I went the extreme and put in a Xantrax Posine Inverter/Charger and replaced my batteries with four 6volt gel batteries. Yes, I said four. You can fit four in the battery compartment if you take off the door jamb. For safety I put a metal plate under the battery compartment with a bolt going up through the floor to support the extra weight.

Thanks To: Lassen, Bill Crommett, Larry & sharon, & Bechlumber For replying to my post...I am still undecided!
Joe....I've looked again at my Magnetek 7345 and see that it is made in China. And it has the same fuse board that is included in the WFCO 9800 series upgrade kit that is offered on the Best Converters Website.
Therefore for me I see no problem switching to a 3-stage WFCO from a China made Magnetek.

Joe, If I were you, and did not want to spend the time and effort to mount the Progressive Dynamics unit, or the time, effort, and extra money for the Xantrax, I would go ahead and try the WFCO unit ~~ it will probably go in quicker, give better results than you current unit, and close to, if not on par with, the other units as mentioned. Get 'er Done :>)
