Progressive Dynamics Power Converter: “Charge Wizard — Storage (slow blink)”
info RV power converter problems
What it means
A brief flash about once every 6-8 seconds means the Inteli-Power converter has entered Storage mode and lowered output to roughly 13.2 VDC to minimize water loss while the RV sits unused. The unit periodically pulses back up to ~14.4 V for a short desulfation cycle. This is normal storage behavior.
Most likely causes
- No significant battery use for about 30 hours, so the converter dropped to the 13.2 V storage level most likely
- Storage mode was manually selected via the pendant button common
Safe checks you can do yourself
- Measure battery voltage; ~13.2 V confirms Storage mode.
- Confirm the flash is a single brief blip every several seconds (not the fast Normal-mode blink).
- If you want a full recharge, press the pendant button to command Boost or Normal mode.
How to reset / clear Charge Wizard — Storage (slow blink)
- No reset needed; storage is a normal low-maintenance state.
- Use the pendant button to step back to Normal/Boost, or draw a load (or cycle AC power) to wake it from storage.
When to call a technician
The unit never leaves storage even under load, or the battery self-discharges despite the converter showing storage maintenance.
