Frequently Asked Questions

Whatdoes a MIDTEK RV power converter do?

A MIDTEK RV power converter converts 120 VAC to 12 VDC to fully charge and maintain any battery type, while providing clean DC power for 12V equipment. This means that you can use your RV's electrical system to power your laptops, TVs, microwaves, and other appliances, even when you're not connected to shore power.

How doI adjust the voltage on my MIDTEK RV power converter?

The standard charging mode does not offer any manual voltage adjustment. The fixed voltage mode uses the dial on the right side to adjust the output voltage.

How doI troubleshoot a MIDTEK RV power converter?

If your MIDTEK RV power converter is not working properly, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the problem. First, check the fuses and circuit breakers to make sure they are not blown.

If the fuses and circuit breakers are okay, then check the wiring to make sure it is not damaged. If the wiring is okay, then the converter may be defective. In this case, you will need to contact MIDTEK for assistance.

Which MIDTEK RV power converter is right for me?

The right MIDTEK RV power converter for you depends on your RV's electrical system and your needs. If you have a small RV with a small battery bank, then you will need a lower-amp converter. If you have a larger RV with a larger battery bank, then you will need a higher-amp converter.

Where can I buy a MIDTEK RV power converter?

MIDTEK RV power converters are available from the website (Midtekpower.com) and Amazon

What is the difference between Standard charging and fixed voltage?

Standard charging is the normal method of charging for lead acids and AGM batteries.

Fixed voltage is a method of charging a battery that maintains a constant voltage throughout the charging process and can be adjusted to the desired set point with the dial. This is ideal for Lithium batteries.

What are the safety precautions that should be taken when working with RV power converters?

Always disconnect the power before working on the converter. This includes disconnecting the battery and the shore power cord.
Do not work on the converter if it is wet. Water and electricity do not mix, and you could be electrocuted if you work on a wet converter.
Use the correct tools for the job. Do not use tools that are not insulated, as you could get shocked.
Be careful not to touch any exposed wires or connections. Even if the power is disconnected, there could still be a small amount of current flowing.
Do not overload the converter. Make sure that the converter is rated for the amount of power that you need.
