I have the same converter but without the wired remote (didnt see a need for it). Its was a little less (like $215?). The remote allows you to see what mode its charging in and I think alows you to change it. But you can do that directly on the board. It has a flashing green light that lets you know the status.

Not hard to install, just take your time.... I might have spent 3 hours since I had to split my 12v power source for the inverter ("Y" connector for 4 gauge wires use in stereo systems). The OEM has two lugs for 12v. One in and one out (so you can add an inverter later). The new PD unit only has the inbound lug.

See new board below. Shows the one 12 + input. You can see the little blueish mode button and green LED statis light next to it.

It worked out well in the end and give me piece of mind that its NOT going to overcharge my AGM's.

Plus I have one extra 12 fused output ....not used (Yet)....Im thinking of adding either a 12 v fan in the bedroom or a 12v USB phone chargers (that way my inverter dont have to be on to power them though the outlets).
