Can you tell which slot is for the battery. there may be a slot that has a fuse in it that you are not using. I have a couple that I don't use, but I also have an extra fuse stuck in one side and 'left open' in order for me to have one at hand and not have to look (ask the wife) for where they are.

lol right. Ask first look later.

I ask my bf all of the time, "what do I have xray vision? how am I supposed to know where EVERYTHING is???" hahahha

No, I don't know which is for the battery, none of those empty ones are labeled.

He has some type of 'Chip or Tuner' in it. I have a 'SuperChip' and can get 'around' 24-27mpg.... when not pulling and how much smoke I put out. How they work is by changing the RPMs and shift points of the transmission. The 'set-up' will have one mode for pulling and one for not. When I am pulling I get 14-16mph.

Bf says he doesn't care what ours gets, he's still not getting a damn dodge. He wants to get that chip put in, but idk if he should with my lead foot.

The chips/tuner not just help the mpg they also help with POWER....

I agree with Les's test for AC power. (He would have been more likely to turn the breaker off in the power pole box outside I think.)

As I said above, I'm not so sure that it's ok to turn it back on without the battery/fuse on there. At the least, make sure all of the wires outside where the fuse used to be are taped up.

I still think the right approach is to replace the missing fuse.

True barry! Although I suppose you can run a wfco converter without a battery for an emergency it is "HIGHLY" recommended NOT to.

After talking to a tech at wfco and several emails he said smoke will release from the unit if there's not a battery buffer in the system.

It will overheat as the fan/ fans will not keep up with the heat.

Same goes for a "bad" battery.

New Progressive dynamics on the other hand can be run without a battery.

Totally off-topic, but for future reference. I was checking your profile and see we are possible neighbors. The WM in my name is the abbreviation for West Monroe.
