Powermax 110 Volt to 12 Volt DC Power Supply Converter Charger for Rv Pm3-55 (55 Amp)

Not 5 stars only because I just got the unit today and confirmed that its working. My application required replacing a shot Atwood APS 5530 converter. I simply disconnected that unit and left it in place, and hooked the Powermax up the same way using 6AWG wire: Powermax positive output to the Converter + input on my Atwood fuse board. Powermax negative output to the grounding block on the back of my panel. Plugged into the same outlet as my microwave. Removed the 40A reverse battery fuses on the board since the Powermax is fused. Voltage tested at 14.7 at the unit and the converter input on the fuse board. Dropped to 13.6 after a few minutes, unit was warming up but no fan running. Voltage at the battery + on the fuse board reads 12.5. Good enough for me ... Ill hope this lasts a few years or more and keeps my batteries in good shape. I plan to mount on the wall next to the microwave which offers plenty of front/rear breathing room for the fan. No way to mount it in the same space as the panel.

Installed in my toy hualer works great. Definitely a upgrade from the old one.

Good power supply for ECU programming. Holds constant voltage during ECU module programming. Auto shut off if another power source is detected. Charged fully drained battery under 45 mins. Only con in this power supply is that it doesnt have power supply voltage reading measure display, you have to use volt meter to determine the measurement under fixed voltage supply. If you are programming BMW ECUs I recommend you set the fixed voltage to 14.2 vdc so your output value on terminal 15 and terminal 30 remains between 13.6 to 14 vdc. Voltage supply only fluctuates for the first few mins.

Easy to install. Replaced old converter because no longer charged coach batteries. Has adjustable charging capability. Great price.

Used this to replace the one on my 20 year old RV.

Easy install and no noise at all, works great in our 5th wheel

I love the LED light letting me know at a glance that the ststem is working :)

This was purchased to replace a single-stage charger/power supply in an older travel trailer. The older units bulk charge only design apparently contributed to shortening the lifespans of several (ruinously expensive) deep cycle batteries, something I didnt want to see repeated. This units three-stage charging should help address that issue. This unit was of slightly different dimensions than its open-deck predecessor, necessitating some engineering of the plastic enclosure, but that was known at purchase, and was not an issue. The fan-noise is quite reasonable, and is only active when needed. While I didnt open the unit to see its contents, the good quality of the metal case and exterior connections leads me to believe the the same quality is present electronically, an opinion supported by solid output voltage/amperage over two weeks of initial use.

Works better that my original factory 55 Amp Converter, and it arrived promptly.

Super easy to install.
