Question: Can I simply change my old lead acid battery out with AGM? No concerns with charging system in camper?

Thanks

    The WFCO converter will be fine, but you may want to check with your battery manufacturer for the best setting of the MPPT solar charge controller.

    Shouldn’t be an issue. If you have solar, you may need to check the settings on your controller, but as far as the converter on the trailer goes, no changes needed.

    Agreed. No changes needed to trailer.

    You might consider getting a Noco genius or similar charger to occasionally maintain and fully charge your new AGMs for better performance and longer life. Not essential... just better. And no change to trailer as wished.
