Progressive Dynamics Power Converter: “Charge Wizard — Normal (rapid blink)”
info RV power converter problems
What it means
A fast-flashing indicator (roughly one to five flashes per second) means the Inteli-Power converter is in Normal (Regular) mode, holding output at about 13.6 VDC. This is the standard everyday operating state once the battery is charged.
Most likely causes
- Battery is charged, so the converter settled to its nominal 13.6 V maintenance level most likely
- Normal mode was locked in by holding the pendant button past the lock threshold less common
Safe checks you can do yourself
- Measure battery voltage; ~13.6 V confirms Normal mode.
- Confirm the flash rate is fast (about 1-5 per second) rather than the slow once-every-several-seconds storage blink.
- If you expected fast charging, press the pendant button to command Boost.
How to reset / clear Charge Wizard — Normal (rapid blink)
- No reset needed; this is normal operation.
- Holding the pendant button longer than the lock threshold (about 9-12 seconds depending on Wizard version) locks Normal mode until released.
When to call a technician
Voltage at the battery reads well below 13.6 V in Normal mode, or 12 V accessories behave erratically.
