LiFePO4 Converter Change?
I just want to switch from lead acid to lithium, not upgrade wires and everything else. Finding a new replacement board for my WF-8955PEC seems to be complicated. Straight 14.6V continuous boost singl...

I think part of that is they were waiting for a consensus of what would be good for a second voltage on a two stage and to see which format (chemical composition) was going to become the leader for rv use. There are some companies that came out with 2 stages right off the bat.
The converter/charger industry transitioned from single-stage to multi-stage converters/chargers for lead-cell batteries many, many years ago.
Lead-cell and lifepo4 chemistries share the same, exact charging dilemma. There is no one, ideal charge voltage for lead-cell. There is no one, ideal charge voltage for lifepo4.
Why some converter/charger manufacturers completely ignored this simple concept by introducing single-stage (single voltage) lifepo4 converters/chargers for lifepo4's is beyond me.
