I’ve been doing a lot of research on this, and although the AD model stands for auto detect, according to WFCO spec sheets has the same output voltage for the standard model and the AD model, so the AD model still can’t fully charge lithium batteries. I’m not an expert nor an electrician, just going off what the specs say.

My WFCO converter in my Model WF-8735P Power Center just died in my 2015 TAB S Max trailer, so this video was very interesting. I still have a lead acid battery in the trailer, but converting to lithium soon is my goal, so I want to replace my current failed power center. I've heard there are two choices in replacing your power center when you upgrade to lithium: One is the WFCO Model WF-8735AD as you show in this video, and the other is the WFCO Model WF-8740AD. I am wondering if the WF-8740AD is a newer version that has come out since this video, which might now be what I should replace with?
@gregoutandabout 5 ай бұрын
To my knowledge the only difference between the 8735AD and the 8740AD is the amperage rating. 35 max for the 8735 and 40 for the 8740. Since I wasn’t upgrading anything that required a higher amperage, I replaced straight across with an 8735AD. You might consult the T@B manufacturer for their guidance.
@kims.8718 5 ай бұрын
@@gregoutandabout Thanks, Greg!! I contacted the TAB NuCamp company, and they said they are currently putting in the 8735AD in their TAB 320's. I definitely want to make sure I get the newer V.19 (or possibly V.20??) firmware, however, when I order the power center. Now that a V.20 firmware is available, would that be the best one to get? I still have a lead acid battery in my 2015 TAB S Max, but would really like to change over to lithium at some point. Would the V.20 firmware then be best? Is the company you ordered your power center from able to determine which firmware number they are sending out if you specify the firmware you want?

Hi Greg, I am looking to make the exact same change on my Ranger 12 A-Liner, I have the 8735P as well. I appreciate your video, very well done! Got an e-mail from WFCO today telling me I should not swap converters if my battery is more than 10 ft. away from the converter. Curious to know how far apart your battery and converter are and is the cabling to your battery #10 wire gauge. Thanks, Dave
@gregoutandabout 6 ай бұрын
I’m guessing yeah 10 gauge but it might be 12. Converter and battery are probably 10 feet as the crow flies but I’m not sure how many cable feet there are once the wire disappears into the frame.

I'm going to buy a lithium power charger for my lithium batteries INSTEAD of replacing my old power converter. My question for you Greg is, for those DC wires on the right side, it should be easy enough to open it up and see where the DC output to charge the batteries comes from right? Basically, I want to dead end that cable so that my system can remain powered from the new lithium battery, but I want to disable charging to the lithium battery from the power converter. I have the WFCO 8935PEC.

General rule when pitching waste pipe, it should pitch a 1/4 inch per foot. On a level, that is the line past the level line. The edge of bubble should just touch that. They make levels to show the correct pitch. If you pitch the pipe too much, the water will leave the paper and waste behind, causing a blockage over time. I admire your bravery in getting the job done and for the most part you got it done right. On a good note, you had the forethought to prevent getting flush in your face!🤣😂🙂

It looks like you had a lot of extra wire. I was wondering if it was possible to leave the wires hooked up and pull the unit out a foot or so? It seems like it would be easier to disconnect and connect the wires plus you could move them over one at a time. This would only work if you had enough slack.

@gregoutandabout 10 ай бұрын
Yes I have a suburban water heater and typically switches connect 2 black wires so you just need to connect the 2 black wires in a switch to complete the circuit. It shouldn’t matter which pole you connect each black wire to, because the switch’s function is simply to connect the power and disconnect when you turn the switch on/off.
