I swapped my 5 year old LA battery, that was still doing fine, out with a cheap LiFePo4 battery. Has Bluetooth monitoring. Did NOT swap out the converter. Battery arrived with 92% charge (also has a small % digital readout on the battery top). I added a battery disconnect, my TT did not come with one. I also was told that the non-lithium option converter would not fully charge the battery 100%, maybe 80-85%. Some others just bought a $40 stand-alone charger to top them off and equalize the cells occasionally. Haven’t bought one yet. Another option was to use a solar controller with lithium setting and solar panels to top off the battery. I connected mine with clamps (still getting install parts) and let the panels do their thing for a couple hours (supposedly 800 watt panels x2) a few days ago. Now the battery is reading 100%! I hadn’t checked the battery before the solar hookup so I don’t know the beginning charge there. The WFCO replacement lithium option converter is $234 IIRC plus install hassle. I’m holding off on that while I’m considering getting an inverter and second battery. I added an SAE jack in addition to the Furrion 10amp max solar jack to handle higher amperage. Finally figured out the Bluetooth monitor setup. Unfortunately, I tried before and set up a password that I cannot retrieve so I cannot track battery history. But I can get up to date data with not signing in.
