Lithium Confusion
I currently store my coach in my garage plugged into 30 amp service. My new coach came with lead acid batteries. The coach has a progressive dynamics PD 4060 charger in a mighty mini power center. ...

They have bigger protectors, up to 220A. Victron Linky
My battery has a 2C discharge rate. I have them in a 2p4s arrangement so I have 360A of discharge current available. One of the nicest things about LiFePo4 batteries is there's no Puekert effect, the voltage stays fairly constant, even with large loads. My inverter is only 300W. I'm not a full timer so I don't run any large inverter loads. I want the capacity for the electric fridge.
Another often overlooked feature of LiFePO4 is their low internal resistance, which means they are 99% efficient when charging versus ~85% for lead acid.
