You do not "need" to change out the converter to make it charge a lithium battery. My trailer solar setup can completely charge a lithium, and if I ever need to, I have a simple smart charger that can charge a lithium battery. The WFCO in my 2017 brings my 100 ah lithium to about 85 percent state of charge when I tested it.
I have a Lithium Battery question for the group. We pick up our 2021 320S BD tomorrow. My dealer was asking me if I wanted to upgrade the batteries to the Lion Lithium at a reasonable price. Yes, I realize they are not simply lithium but honestly I forget the proper chemistry at the moment. I realize Costco has a deal…
Most Lithium batteries have a minimum charging temperature, around 32-25F. The -4F RMo is referring to is the minimum use/safe storage temperature for lithium batteries. Most major brand lithium batteries come with built in heaters thst keep the battery above -4F. Hybird and EV type vehicles all have a battery management…
It looks to me that my dealer didn't switch the converter to lithium. I had them upgrade me to two lithium batteries. Before I move the switch to LI instead of LA I would like a second opinion from our battery gurus. Seems totally obvious but I don't trust myself these days. For lithium batteries the little white toggle…
I have a lithium battery and I haven’t swapped the converter. The stock converter doesn’t harm the lithium battery and I generally camp w/out hookups (which is why I wanted the lithium in the first place) so I recharge from a solar panel.
Hi, Just want to pass on some info. that may or may not be helpful for those moving over to Lithium batteries and are considering not changing out the non lithium charger /converter. I have two lithium batteries and did not change out the WFCO 8735P (stock for lead acid) in a 2021/320. I always read that the WFCO will not…
Well put, I think in the long haul lithium is the way to go. When my current battery fails, or I decide I need more battery amps. available, I will swap out to a Lithium battery. cheers
