{"product_id":"100-amp-power-converter","title":"100 Amp Power Converter - 100A 120V AC to 12V DC Converter Charger","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the box that keeps a house battery topped up and the 12 volt circuits alive while you are plugged into shore power. It suits two situations: replacing a tired converter in an older trailer, or filling the gap in a build that has no AC-to-DC charging at all. At 100 amps it has enough headroom to charge a large lithium bank while the usual 12 volt loads keep running.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy this converter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 amps of continuous DC output, roughly 1,460 watts, drawn from a standard 120 volt circuit at no more than 15 amps AC.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree selectable no-load output voltages, approximately 14.6 V, 13.6 V and 13.2 V, so it can be matched to a lithium bank's absorption voltage or left lower for lead-acid float duty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEfficiency is rated above 85 percent. That is reasonable for a unit this size, but it also means something in the region of 200 watts is shed as heat at full output, which is why the cooling arrangement matters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFan speed is proportional rather than on\/off, so it stays quiet at light loads instead of cycling audibly in a small living space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection covers reverse polarity, overload and thermal shutdown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified to UL 458 and CSA C22.2, the standards inspectors look for in mobile power conversion equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWired as a direct swap for a conventional RV converter: 120 V AC in on its own 15 amp circuit, DC out to the distribution bus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt 100 amps the DC run needs cable and overcurrent protection sized for that current. Reusing the leads from a smaller converter is not safe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount it where the fan has clear air on both sides. Sustained high output produces real heat, and a cramped bay will drive it into thermal limiting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich Solar publishes one user manual covering both the 80 A and 100 A converters. Follow its terminal and grounding instructions rather than a generic wiring guide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovered by Rich Solar's standard limited warranty. Rich Solar does not publish a term for this specific item on its product page, so confirm the current period with them rather than assuming it matches the panel warranties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 warning: this product can expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RICHSOLAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46391896244374,"sku":"RS-PC100","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/5291\/1254\/files\/100A_power_converter_20240620_-_7.jpg?v=1785836699","url":"https:\/\/sunenergydepot.com\/products\/100-amp-power-converter","provider":"sunenergydepot.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
