Which Progressive Dynamics converter did you use?

Are you sure that the WFCO charger isn't operating? If the battery is being kept fully charged by your solar system then the WFCO battery charger won't have anything to do.  

Confirm that the main fuses in the 12V distribution panel are good, and that the charger ac circuit breaker is closed. Then try disconnecting the battery and solar system entirely and see if your 12V loads will run directly on the WFCO. That won't hurt anything. If they do then your charger is working, if not then it has failed. In that case, I agree with Motor7 re Progressive Dynamics as a replacement.

There is a certain failure rate among the converters used thought to be caused by vibration. Pod converters are WFCO, I like Progressive Dynamics.

I have a 2017 179 and my converter is not charging my battery while hooked to shore power. Everything else works just fine. I have solar and that will charge the battery. I did replace the battery last week.

Any ideas on what my problem is. I never hear the converter plan running. Thanks for any help you can provide.
