Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Replacement Converter Section for the Progressive Dynamics 4,000 Series RV Power Control Center.

Now, the power converter will deliver DC power to and to charge your batteries for recreational vehicles, 12 volt lighting and applying circuits. This unit here has a built in charge wizard which is a four stage charging system, constantly monitors the batteries and it'll automatically adjust your converter output voltage based on the battery's charge status.
The converter chargers capable of charging multiple batteries at the same time and it can also charge different capacity batteries at one time. This one here does include a switch to allow charging of lithium batteries. They do have built in features on this to ensure long term reliability. It'll offer electronic current limiting which will automatically reduce the output voltage to prevent overheating. It offers reverse polarity protection which prevents charger damage if your connections are accidentally reversed.
It has high voltage, low voltage protection and it'll prevent damage from AC input voltage fluctuation and it also offers automatic thermal protection which will protect from damage due to excessive heat and also, if you notice right here, you can see it has this variable speed intelligent cooling fan which will only operate under high heat conditions. It is also GFCI protected, helps prevent ground fault interruptions and it is UL listed.

Replaces the converter charger section in your 45-amp Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power 4000 series Power Control Center. Includes switch to allow charging lithium batteries.Installed with ease. I fipped the Li switch on. So far so good. My RV is holding a charge of 14.2, and the battery fuse has not tripped, allowing recharging without my intervention.
It was the correct one. It arrived in a timely manner, consistent with the stated delivery date. It was in perfect condition. And I plan to use y'all the next time a customers part is not an emergency, or I can't get it locally. You'll be the first site I go to. Thank you
It’s not exactly the best for lithium battery, i have to shut it down when the battery are full

That doesn't sound normal and a pain in the butt. I have a few questions for you Marc. Do you happen to know what model of battery you have and if your battery has a Battery Management System? Most newer models of lithium batteries will have one built in, if yours does have a BMS, and its not working, I would take the battery to your local auto repair shop to be checked.
Paper wrap did not keep the item secure since the paper was not wrapped around the converter. The box and bag had damage from the corner of the crt board hitting the inside of the box. I don’t think that this caused damage to the part but showed the “rough” handling by the delivery service.
After speaking directly to a technical representative of Progressive Dynamics about the high pitch noise I was provided 2 different options to address the issue:replace the fan the likely culprit or the entireI was confident replace the converter section, which I did. ETrailer had the exact item which was easy to replace. The high pitched noise was thankfully addressed.
I needed this upgraded board to charge lithium batteries. This unit has a dip switch that allows charging of LA or LI batteries.
The installation was very straightforward, the hardest part was lying on the floor to access the power distribution system.
Have to activated it yet, waiting for my battery to arrive.
Remember, if switching from LA to LI, you need to change the on board trickle charger ( this unit) and the solar charge controller.
I just finished installing an RV converter charger into my truck camper along with a new lithium battery bank.
As I had read the conversion was easy. E trailer processed the order quickly and the package came a day early.
The install took me 45 min.
This is my second order with them, good job.

Thanks for your quick delivery on the PD4045CSV. My installation saved me $330 + what the local RV dealer would have overcharged me to replace it. Thanks to Progressive Dynamics and e-trailer for the easy to replace part.
Carol - Thank you for writing and YES just a short time ago received the unit. I'm planning to install it this week and will definitely write a review. First impressions: VERY positive!
Something you may not know about the existing Progressive Dynamics PD4045: I am a very active Amateur Radio "ham" operator and my RV camper is the location of my primary radio station. I am a member of a club with many other radio hams who have campers. Other hams have reported that the DC converter units in their campers generate a great deal of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) to their radio operations. But the Progressive Dynamics units are as quiet as a mouse when it comes to radio interference. This equates to careful engineering design and production on PD's part and is much appreciated by the ham radio community. (I will mention this in my review of the Replacement Converter Section.)
Lauren with etrailee.com was great! I had a situation where I had a power converter Fail and was headed out of the country in a few days. Despite it being 4th of July weekend, she made sure it got boxed and shipped out and I received it as committed. Power converter installed, everything worked great and crises averted! Can't ask for better customer service than that!
How simple was this
Our 2013 truck camper charger converter was only able to charge lead acid batteries. We wanted to switch to lithium.
Our charger is a Prigreesive Dynamics brand so I called them and asked for assistance. The tech provided me with the part number for the item to upgrade our system. A basic plug and play however you needed to disconnect the five wires and reconnect the new ones.
An internet search for the part number lead my to Etrailer. As usual they had the best price. I made the purchase an opted for the faster freight service. It arrived to us within 3 days! Fantastic!
A quick review of the instructions and it took me less than 30 minutes to make the swap.
This upgrade now allows us to charge lead acid batteries or toggle a switch to charge lithium. I am now ready to change out my batteries.
Excellent replacement on my 2016 Jayco whitehawk dsrl 27 ft travel trailer. Easy install with 5 wires.
Great customer support. There was a wire size difference that caught my attention. I called him, he knew exactly what I was talking about and explained that what I had was the correct replacement part. He was correct.
The part I ordered came on time and It's correct. Can't ask for better than that.
Thanks etrailer.
Very pleased with the service I received. I felt that the ohm's reading I was getting on my old unit that didn't work were the same as the new unit. But tech support assure me the new unit was good. And after Installing it worked great,where as the old one would blow a fuse instantly. Thanks so much for the help.
I have shopped (a lot)via the net for this converter as a replacement. My previous one is not defective but does not have the "voltage bump" for Lithium Batteries. etrailer was the only one that had in the description (picture) the confirmation that it was lithium ready.
The switch was very easy, even though the instructions from the manufacturer are very generic.
Shipment to Canada was straightforward.
Great service easy replacement
This is the first place I go when I'm looking for replacement or new parts for my 5th wheel or my trucks (3). They also have competitive pricing. And the reviews are really helpful !!!

It has been working as expected and I like the fact that it can do both types of batteries if I ever change over to lithium
So far so good. Progressive Dynamics puts a tab on the sheet metal so you can't just slide the old one out and the new one in. But it can be worked around.
Works great and your tech technician was more than helpful. Getting me the correct product thank you very much.
always great service and shipping from etrailer.
Arrived on time. Simple 5 wire install. Stopped the humming. Can't wit to see what it does with lithium when I upgrade
Took way too long to ship. I ordered on a Thursday and they didn't bring it to the USPS shipping facility til Tuesday. I won't receive it in time before we go on our camping trip. So my trailer will not be fully functional before we leave for our trip.
As far as the product goes, I will update my review after I install it. I'm sure it functions just fine.
Excellent packaging excellent product couldn’t have been easier to install. Simply five wires a few screws. Haven’t used a lithium battery yet but charges AGM just fine.
product shipped right away and good customer support with a few questions i had.
part was super easy to install.
