Переглядів 3 тис.Рік тому
I sent my WFCO-9855-AD Converter/Charger in for a firmware update to fix the issues with the Auto-Detect feature for Li batteries. This is not a How-To video just a video on how I did it. Always consult a licensed professional before modifying or making changes to your trailers electrical systems.

Lithium Battery Upgrade

We are fortunate that we can park our trailer next to our house. It's a very tight fit but it saves us $60 to $80 a month. How tight is your spot? We'd love to hear from you!

Loading A Heavy Hitch By Yourself
Переглядів 8293 роки тому
Since we no longer have a strong teenager living at home I had to come up with a way to load our Pullrite Superglide 5th wheel hitch into the back of the truck by myself. A friend of mine had a great idea. This is how I do it.
Replacing the battery in a SimpliSafe Key Fob
Переглядів 37 тис.3 роки тому
I am replacing the battery in a key fob that was not designed to have the battery replaced. It's easy if you just take your time.
Is it a Pure Sine wave inverter? Firman is really slack on posting this kind of info up front.
If the light is green, it’s not changing correctly for Lithium.
pull the side cardboard inserts out first , then the gen is a bit easier to lift out , thats what i did with my wo3386 Firman.
Hi for battery charger always I just one ferst time
Thanks, I did this once and couldn't remember how I went about it, so this video was helpful in not having to purchase a new remote.
Guys, this is the best video out there and that the gentleman said to start at the bottom of the fob. I tried with a screwdriver, but I thought I was going to break it. He was able to do his just fine, so that’s worth a try. I was using a big screwdriver, and I thought I was going to break it. I took a standard kitchen butter, knife, pried it up under the cloth loop at the bottom and was very careful and patient and it popped right open. Absolutely no damage at all to the fob. Thank you sir for this great video and for saving us all 25 to 30 bucks.
Video editing is your friend. Bloat in videos is no good. Maybe add chapters in your videos.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep it in mind for future videos!
Thanks for posting this! Took me a minute to get the battery out, however finally! Success!! 😊
What's in the regulator why's it so big
Anyone know how long it will run on 50 percent load?
Great review, thanks! What is the name of the device to trick a Hughes surge protector to work, that plugs in to the 20A plug on the generator? Thanks
Neutral plug
Cheater plug
@@AgentOffice Thanks!
Thanks for posting, sir. At first I thought the flat blade screwdriver was a bit hamfisted for this, but I used that exact same screwdriver. That case is pretty stiff and snug. Using a traditional spudger would just result in a bent spudger. Maybe a dull utility blade would work, but if you are careful with the flat blade screwdriver, you can do it without goobering up the plastic.
With the floating nuetral, has this caused you any issues / concerns without the cheater plug?
SS will replace the key fob for free if you have monthly monitoring
Worst POS EVER !!, If the battery goes dead, which it will if left alone for a couple of months.. it WILL NOT START, you gotta take it apart... WHAT IS THE POINT OF A GENERATOR THAT MUST HAVE A GOOD BATTERYT TO START !!! POOS NEVER buy these modern piles of krap again.. looking for a good old fashioned generator w a MAGNETO !!
Not right. Should see blue light. Look with mirror on other end on converter charger. Lithium battery needs 14.4 volts to fully charge. Your still not in true lithium mode
This! The converter should stay at 14.2-14.6VDC (at least while charging) and vary the current to do so. Even cheap portable Lipo4 chargers can do this. At this point, I don't think any converter manufacturer builds a functioning charger. I can't understand why they cannot figure this out like the solar industry has.
No. It has stages of charging, not a constant one number rate.
thanks! Very helpful. But also helps to know the filling of oil. uses all but 1-2 oz of the provided oil
On my way to Harbor freight to pick up their 5000 dual fuel inverter on sale for 899, but you had to pay extra for the warranty. Stopped at Costco and this exact Firman was on sale for 599 with an included 3 year warranty. Hmmmm…never made it to Harbor Freight.Our RV is a 30 amp smaller travel trailer, a Casita, and this was perfect for it. Nice unboxing.
How much do you put? The whole thing?
80 decibels ? I thought this was supposed to sub 60 ? 🤔
I believe that dB are typically measured around 30 ft away. Not right next to the unit being measured.
23ft away
You can make anything sound quiet with enough distance.
Picked one up from Costco yesterday and reading up on the manual as we speak... Thank you for posting this video! Really lovingly your work bench btw...
R u still reading the manual
I just bought this unit. Seems to be a finicky starter. Starts good with the electric start . Not so good with the rope .
Thanks for the video
I got same model for good price needed a pull rope so i took apart and now the idle switch doesn't work it still runs ok but it very shaky now when i put a load on it. Everything looks plugged in the to engine computer. 3200 max for gas power its false advertising says on the sticker too
I’ve got four of these generators they’re awesome there’s a couple little tips when turning on a propane tank turn the valve on very slow sometimes it will lock out the regulator if you open too fast also I’d like to shut the propane tank off and let the generator die versus shutting off the generator and leaving propane inside
That's a great idea!
What did your new firmware label say? The correct firmware (updated) is -?????
I don't remember seeing a label on it when it came back. I'd look for you but it's buried behind a wall in the basement. Sorry.
Great Video! How long is the run time on a tank of propane?
I haven't run it long enough to find out how long it will go on one tank. I have runnit a total of 2 hours and the tank feels like maybe it's used 1/3. I'm sure it is directly proportional to the load on the generator. We bout this as a "just in case" but we haven't really needed it yet. If I get more data I will post it back here.
@@catchingupwiththecodys2861used ours extensively after Beryl here in Houston. Propane lasted as long as 11 hours at probably half load. That's running our 13,500 BTU air conditioner on our camper and a handful of other things within the camper. Gasoline was going as long as 8 hours depending on load and as short as 5 hours. Fyi when I first got the generator I ran it out of gas thinking it would clear the carb enough for storage but when I went to start it on gasoline after the hurricane it wouldn't start on gas only on propane. I fiddled with the air intake and choke and a few other miscellaneous tubes inside and it finally got going on gasoline. My plan now is to start it up once a month on gasoline. Hope this helps.
@@derekisthematrix Was that trouble with regular gasoline or ethanol-free?
@@bench175 regular gas, no Sta-bil additive
Thank you so much for this video. Was having trouble getting my Fireman WH03242 started for the first time. You solved my problem, I discovered the issue! :)
I'm so glad it was helpful.
What was the issue? I can’t get mine to start!
Great video, I almost ordered a new Key Fob. Thanks for sharing.
Can I store it with gasoline inside the tank or do i need to use it all before storing the generator?
I think that depends on how long you store it for. They do make additives that you can add to the gas tank to help stabilize the gas. I take mine out monthly and run if for 20 or 30 minutes.
Anything more than a month you should empty it. Additives work but not great. Ideally you should run it once a month for at least 15 minutes.
I run mine once a month for about 20 minutes. I would not advise storing for long periods of time with out emptying or treating the fuel. The owners manual has a section for storing procedures and can be downloaded from their website.
Did you have an issue figuring out that the LPG regulator was electric and needed to be plugged in? Took me about 30 minutes before I realized it had to be plugged in next to the LPG fitting. Nothing I found in the manual mentioned this. Great video, thanks.
Yes. Took me a bit to figure that out as well.
It showes it in the quick start guide
What's in the regulator why's it so big
Flip box open bottom, return upright and lift box off or generator
That's so cool. Thanks for making this video
Thank you! You saved my SS fob!
Thanks for the video. My remote was getting sluggish. I was initially trying access from the side as well. The few scars that I made are not as bad as the few tooth marks from puppy Oscar. I learned to keep things out of his reach.
Thanks a lot. Your tips are awesome and save me the trouble on how to open it. I would have opened it from the side. Now I know what battery it uses.
The Auto Detect feature is 'totally' false advertisement !!! Firm Update is just updating the software on the device..
Bro you got your positives and negatives mixed up on your video!! also you have to delete the old fob before you can add the new one get your stuff together homie.. good video tho
Perfect, thanks for the how to, replaced my battery super easy. Any easier would be an actual design for this. .........(?)
Thank you very much. You just saved me $25 on an order I was able to cancel from this morning. Since I have about 30 of the 2032 batteries it was a great size for my need. Much obliged.
Awesome!!!!!❤
How did you pair it
Why don’t they just put a switch so that the user can choose Li only? This auto feature is odd. I also don’t quite understand why using solar with it messes up the charging. Seems like you could be stuck running a generator, and not actually charging at the highest speed.
In my case the battery went the other way around, oddly. And to pair, you go to Devices, Add Device, and choose a key fob (it will have you hold the panic button for 2 seconds). Wish this has been in the info here, but otherwise great video!
nifty little generator 👍 cool seeing YBC too!
I got mine replaced and it just worked! Awesome video, thanks!!
worked great! thank you!
Thanks for this video Cody. I swapped my wife's over and done in under 5 minutes. luckily i didn't have to reconnect mine. worked great after battery swap.
Thanks for posting this, very halpful.
Thanks Cody. My keyfob somehow got messed up. It's not pairing with the system. I called them and ran through numerous troubleshooting. They ended up sending me a refurbished one. I am here originally looking for how to pair the "new" key to the system. But, yeah, next time if I need a new battery, i will do the way you did it. Very helpful.
