Can anyone confirm that you DONT need to replace the DC board in the fuse box when you upddate to this PD4655 converter? Looks like it comes with a new DC board (which distributes 12V power and holds all of your DC fuses).
Sound like you replace this board JUST to gain a button and the LED light that show what mode your in (and alows you to change the mode).
I dont see any need for me to change the way the smart charger want to charge so I dont think I would need to change this DC board.
Will it work normal without new board?
Only advantage I see is it would allow you to manualy boost your charging to minimize generator use when in a CG or perhaps conserve fuel while boon docking (or Keep noise down). Gets you to full charge quicker.
But the way I look at it is the smart charger will maintain the battery(S) better for longer life if I just leave it alone.
What do you think?

When I replaced my WFCO with the PD, I found that my OEM DC distribtion board was 40 amp, while the one that came with the PD was 30 amps. I called PD and discussed it with them. They said I could keep the existing distribution board and suggested I get the external dongle to monitor and control charging mode. I got the dongle and kept the old distribtion board. It’s been a couple of years and no issues. I think that since I Got my unit, they have upgraded the distribution board they provide to 40 amps.
