Upgrade to Lithium FE battery question
I currently have two Renogy AGM batteries, hooked to a Renogy PWM Solar Charge Controller and also charging from the converter. I just scored on a pair of LiTimes LiFEO4 batteries. Plan to instal...

Installed the LiFeO4 batteries today with a Victron MPPT charger, and verified the charger is charging the battery and all 12V appliances work inside the trailer.
My current converter is a WFCO wf-8735-p which charges in bulk mode at 14.4V for up to 4 hours before dropping to absorption mode at 13.6V. The only issue I see with this converter is that it'll not able to top off the battery in one shot. Since I have 200W of solar panels, the solar MPPT charger will top off the battery. So I'm thinking I can save the $ and using the existing converter. Anyone see any issues with that thinking?
thats what I did for over a year, actualy still doing it. I have more solar (325watts) but I don't plug in very often, I just let the solar handle it. for winter storage I just turn off my battery and leave it plugged in, but I am looking at a replacment for the converter section, the wife wants 120V power for a couple things so I am looking at a inverter / converter unit to take that over
