Progressive Dynamics Power Converter: “Charge Wizard — Boost (solid LED)”
info RV power converter problems
What it means
On an Inteli-Power converter fitted with a Charge Wizard or remote pendant, a steadily lit (non-blinking) indicator means the charger is in Boost mode and is pushing roughly 14.4 VDC into the battery to recharge it quickly. This is a normal status, not a fault, and the unit drops out of Boost once the battery comes up.
Most likely causes
- Battery is discharged, so the converter raised output to ~14.4 V to recharge it faster most likely
- Boost mode was manually selected by pressing the pendant button common
- A heavy 12 V load is pulling the battery down and holding the unit in Boost less common
Safe checks you can do yourself
- Confirm the indicator is truly solid (no wink/blink); a Wizard 2 winks once every ~6 seconds even in Boost.
- Measure battery voltage with a multimeter; ~14.4 V at the battery confirms Boost charging.
- Let it run; the unit should step down to Normal mode (rapid blink) once the battery is recharged.
- Verify the battery is not old/sulfated if it never leaves Boost after several hours.
How to reset / clear Charge Wizard — Boost (solid LED)
- No reset needed; Boost is a normal charge state.
- To exit manually, briefly press the pendant button to cycle modes.
- To force a fresh mode selection, unplug shore/generator AC for 30 seconds and reconnect.
When to call a technician
The unit stays in Boost (solid) indefinitely, the battery never reaches full charge, or you smell sulfur/see boiling electrolyte.
