2. When you install Lithium batteries in a system that did not have Lithium's originally, you need to verify your RV Coach charge system(Converter or Inverter/Charger) is compatible with charging Lithium batteries. If not, then you have to either change the Charging system parameters(programming) if your existing system can be changed, or you have to replace the existing Converter or Inverter/Charger to one that can charge Lithium's correctly.
3. Otherwise you will have spent a lot of money for Lithium's for nothing when they go bad. Lithium Warranty is NOT like Lead Cell battery warranty's. The batteries are so good that the only way they fail is if the Customer did not maintain(charge) correctly. They will actually tell that if you try to get them replaced under warranty. Doug
