Advice on Lithium upgrade: Charge speeds? Converter options?
The advantage to a lithium battery is that it''ll accept a charge at whatever rate the converter/charger can supply right up to the point where it''s full. Unlike lead-acid batteries, where the charge tapers off to a very low rate as they approach full. So for a given amount of amp-hours, you''ll run your generator less with a lithium

3 things you need to know before an RV lithium battery upgrade
"Lithium Compatible" power converters vary widely in their battery management schemes. The "bad" ones perform a simple single-stage constant voltage charge, typically around 14.6 volts, and wear out Lithium batteries too quickly. The "better ones" perform two stage charge, but the boost return voltage is typically lower than you''d

5 Easy Mistakes to Avoid When Charging Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are notably heat averse. While being too cold can reduce the battery''s power capabilities, getting too hot can completely destroy it. For instance, charging your lithium-ion batteries in hot temperatures could lead to the thermal runaway reaction mentioned earlier. This occurs when the heat generated inside the battery

How do I upgrade to a lithium battery system?
Updating to a Lithium Battery System requires the removal and replacement of the present slide out Lead/Acid Converter/Charger Section with one designed to charge Lithium Batteries. These Replacement Lithium Sections are available from our approved distributors.
How many volts does a battery converter put out?
While in the lithium setting, the converter will put out 14.6 volts continuously. There is no float, boost, etc.. The converter will charge at max, up to 45 amps, until the battery is approx 90% charged, then the amperage will start to back off. While in the lithium setting, the converter will put out 14.6 volts continuously.
Can You charge a lithium battery with a standard Charger?
A standard charger can only fully charge a lithium battery to 70–80 percent of its capacity, so even if you don’t, you’re wasting your time as you can’t utilize the whole amount of additional capacity you purchased. A Type 1 “shortstop”-style inline breaker safeguards your primary battery power line (auto reset thermal cycling).
Can I replace a lead/acid converter/charger with a lithium model?
WARNING! Do not replace your present Lead/Acid Converter/Charger or Converter/Charger Section with a Lithium Model with an Amp rating higher than the D.C Amp output rating of your present unit as your RV wiring is may not be capable of safely handling this extra current!
Are lithium batteries better than lead-acid batteries?
Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries may live up to ten times longer! You may anticipate a 4-5 times longer longevity when comparing premium lead-acid batteries to name-brand LFP batteries, yet the battery only costs 2-3 times as much! As a result, a lithium battery has a substantially lower lifespan cost than a lead-acid battery.
How do I Convert my RV to lithium batteries?
Reminder: To convert your RV to lithium batteries, you’ll need a lithium-compatible converter and (if existent) solar charge controller! For further details, see this article’s final section. Lithium Batteries Don’t Explode, Right?
