![]() Get a fully charged battery in there and see what happens. If there is not at least 12 volts coming from a source it will not allow current to flow in either direction. While using your volt meter you should have seen some current passing when trying to charge unless the convertor was in safe mode. Try it with a fully changed battery and I bet it works. Rcenturion rv power converter replacement tv#Once hooked parallel to the TV it allowed 12 volt to pass right through isolating the discharged battery. Did you disconnect the discharged battery when you tried the 12 volt systems while plugged into shore power or was the battery connected? If connected, the battery may have been so discharged that it was not allowing enough current to open the 12 volt circuit. I agree the 12 volt systems should work with no battery installed when hooked to shore power/120 unless the convertor is in safe mode. Install a fully charged battery and see what happens. RETIRED DOAF/DON/DOD/CONTR RADIO TECH (42yrs) My Posts are IMHO based on my experiences - Words in CAPS does not mean I am shouting First thing I am going to do is a "bug Bomb" We didnt have much of a winter this year so who knows what is lurking/living inside my trailer. My big worry is going to be crawling creatures. I havent opened up my POPUP trailer yet either. Like I mentioned above some of the older converters required the battery to be good and connected before the converter will turn on.Ī good battery will measure 12.5VDC across the terminals and when you turn on the converter/charger chassis the battery terminals should then read 13.6VDC. Your battery may have gone bad on you over the winter and blew some fuses back in the converter area or right next to the battery (In-line fuse). The converter/charger should be putting out 13.6VDC all the time feeding the Power distribution Center and your battery.

Probably The most popular replacement model converters is the Progressive Dynamics converter/chargers. I usually pass on dont let Randy sell you any WFCO products to replace it with. It appears BESTCONVERTER (ask for Randy) has replacement info listed for you converter. being as old as it is I would think about replacing it with a smart-mode type converter/charger. You wont need to replace the whole Power Distribution center, just the converter chassis. If the converter has failed you can replace it with another converter chassis. Most Power distribution Centers where the AC breakers and 12VDC fuses are has a separate compartment on the bottom of the chassis where the converter chassis is installed. I did get to see some pictures of the converter on a couple of other forums and it sure is all crammed in there. Your converter probably puts out a constant 13.6VDC. It could be just a blown fuse between the battery and the converter. You have to get the converter fired up before you can test it. Since the battery is dead it probably is trash now. The battery trips a relay in the converter which will allow it to turn on. Just wanted to mention that some of the older converters required the battery to be charged to work. The BESTCONVERTER site says the can replace it but really couldnt find info on the unit itself. Not familar with the Centurion 3000 model cs6000 converter at all. US Govt survey shows three out of four people make up 75% of the total population Since all of your 120 volt appliances seem to work as they should you would need to only replace the converter itself if it is bad.Ģ011 F-150 HD Ecoboost 3.5 V6. Many power centers consist of a 120 volt distribution center with breakers and a separate converter to produce 12 volt power and charge your battery. Probably also accounts for your dead battery. If you get no voltage then the converter is not working. If all breakers are good then with the battery disconnected and the RV plugged into 120 volt AC, measure across the positive and negative leads at the converter. Some RVs have this feature and others do not. First make certain that you don't have a breaker tripped that would prevent the converter from working. ![]()
