Progressive Dynamics is one of the better Converters on the market.
More information is needed before I'd condemn the converter.
Might also be a good idea to contact Progressive Dynamics for their input on the problem.

We are full timers about 6 days ago the the house breaker tripped. When I reset the breaker the unit LED lights were very bright, I didn't think anything about this because this happens every time when the convertor goes into boost mode.
The other day I was looking at my solar controller an it was showing 15.5V. I turned off my solar panel switch an watched the power level over the day. there was no change.
I have checked the batteries an the battery service inspection window are green.
I unplugged the convertor an the battery voltage dropped back to 12.6V.
I contacted the service center an got this back.
" If it is beyond the warranty the only option is to replace it.
Do not use it if the output is high. Usually when this happens the converter has gotten wet from a leak."
There is no leak were the convertor is installed, an because this the second unit in 5 yrs I'm look for something better.
