Progressive Dynamics PD2140 40 Amp Converter/Charger

The Progressive Dynamics PD2140 40 Amp Converter/Charger has garnered mixed reviews from users who have transitioned from older models. Many customers appreciate the updated digital display, which adds a modern touch to the user experience. They find the unit fairly easy to install, despite differences in connectors and circuit boards from previous models, and describe its performance as generally reliable and maintenance-free. However, there are significant concerns regarding the charger’s charging behavior. Some users report that it tends to overcharge batteries, Consistently running at around 13.8 volts for extended periods—up to 30 hours—without adjusting to the battery's state of charge. This charging method is noted in the manual and seems to primarily rely on timer settings rather than automatic adjustments based on battery needs. As a result, certain users have experienced excessive water usage in their batteries, contributing to long-term concerns about battery health. Ultimately, while the PD2140 has features that appeal to many, including ease of installation and a modern display, potential buyers should weigh these against reports of its charging practices, which could lead to maintenance issues down the line. ###
