- Auto detect converter Does not want to switch over to lithium wants to stay and lead acid profile.This is a wf-8735-ad converter. #rv #100ahbattery #lifepo4 #rvbattery #rvlife #rvupgrades #charger #lifepo4battery #battery

I have a WFCO WF-8735-P That was broken right now so I was trying get that parts but not avaliable should the WFCO WF-8735-AD works as my replecement but I only have lead acid.
Yes, it will work for a replacement. The wr8735 ad will work for both lead acid and Lifepo4
@@Milnickel Mine is 30 amp version while the AD is 35 amps does it rv as well
@@MrTheinfoman yes it will work
Also one cat i read was going to do a class action law suit , but haven’t heard anything since !!! Good luck ! Like i said get a progressive dynamic
Its the firmware!!!
Dude, just contact WFCO and give them your address and ask for the "jumper" for the 6 pin location in the MBA. Stick the white jumper on that 6 pin, and it will charge at lithium ONLY. That's what I did for my WFCO 8955 MBA - AD unit. Then make sure to put a notification sticker somewhere on the unit for the next owner that its set to LITHIUM ONLY.
I would pit my own jumper on if I knew which pins
@@Milnickel 4. After you removed the silver screws the MBA will slide out. You will
see two white pin connectors. One is a 3 pin connector and the one
above it is a 6 pin connector.
On the 6 pin connector on the top 2 pins you will place the jumper,
remember the 3 pin connector is at the bottom of the 6 pin connector.
@@KJC63 I will try that
Well, I emailed them, and they sent a jumper, but it's not just a jumper it has a resistor on it. What size resistor? I don't know.
@Milnickel yeah there's 2 different types. Mine was a full white plug with 2 holes blocked at the top. The other one in the directions looked like a resistor. It must depend on the model WFCO you have. Should be fine. If it's in Lithium only, there will be a blue light. And when it's charging, there will be a red light with the blue light both on. But they're in the back of the unit. You have to peek thru the vent if you have the unit all put back together.
I have the same converter software version 1.19 in a 2023Forest river Flagstaff E pro 20 BHS same issue lots of tips and tricks out there to trick it to work but no guarantees it seems that WFCO and the RV manufacturers do not communicate with one another obviously the manufactures need to understand how the product works that they’re installing unless they just don’t care and the solution that WFCO has come up with is ridiculous it’s unfortunate But from what I have seen online lot’s of people just outright replace the damn thing which may be what I’ll have to do too bad forWFCO instead of admitting to their mistakes and correct in it thereby creating more loyal customers and more revenue Of course I’m sure the majority their sales are to the RV manufactures and as long as they’re buying them They’re making money know if the RV manufacturers started complaining I’m sure they would’ve changed the design immediately
( Put the switch back !!! ) anyhow enough of my rant this would seem to be the more solid fix by replacing it with this unit Progressive Dynamics PD4135KW2BV I believe this is the correct one for the WFCO 8735 AD
Thanks for the info
Just found some more information in the comments on this CZcams video (WFCO Converter Auto-Detect issues and Solution) apparently you can request a jumper for the circuit board pins that will put it in Lipo 4 Mode
@@RIPOFFER07 really, where do the pins have to go? I wonder if I could put a switch in 🤔
@@Milnickel OK from the video I suggested here is what one guy posted in the comments ( remove the cover surrounding the DC fuse block what the fan is attached to there is a six pin plastic connector located at the bottom right side of the motherboard just to the left of the lowest fuse slot jumper plug from WFCO snapped into the connector after gently bending the motherboard a bit to the left for access he suggest calling WFCO support if you need one they sent him the jumper at no charge it could be removed later to put the converter back to lead acid battery mode ) so I’m gonna look online to see if I can see what he’s talking about and I’ll probably call the company to see if I can’t get one of those pins
@RIPOFFER07 I see what your talking about. I just need to know which pins have to be jumped
I installed the same power center from WFCO.....Have the same issue, what an unreliable POS, ended up just buys a lifepo4 charger......that AD is a joke.
I bought a smart charger for the batteries, and it works better, I turn the bearker off on the power converter to charge the batteries and use the smart charger
I also posted a video of what I did differently
I was an RV tech for a long time back in the 90S- 2004 as far as your wfco power center i have the same problem wfco tech support tells me ya gotta run your battery to 2% which to me is F-in stupid , i said it doesn’t say that on the box or instructions! They basically told me tuff shit ! Im going with a progressive dynamics switchable power center , see if that works , all the stuff your doing you shouldn’t have to wfco just SUCKS !!!
