I too am going to bit the bullet and go full lithium. Two group 31 drop in's.

I've researched and followed others on their blogs that have done the same. Each person said they would never go back to traditional batteries.

You do have to change the way you charge your batteries. I spoke to Progressive Dynamics, the folks that probably made your converter/charger. They make a lithium charger unit that replaces the traditional one that came in your OEM unit that meets the lithium charging profile.

They are also working with a company called Relion Batteries, a maker of drop in lithium batteries in designing the appropriate charging system.

I've spent a considerable time on the phone with Progressive Dynamics and the folks at Relion and will be making my swap to that setup later this year.

It's only money!

I've been looking into Lithium Iron quite a bit lately too. The dream is to be able to run the microwave without firing up the gen. I think I've settled on the batteries.

I'm trying to decide if I should get an inverter wired up first to see what kind of hit I take on my batteries when I run the microwave.

I've been looking at the 2000 watt Xantrex Prowatt inverter and I'm trying to figure out where in my 2014 Lance 992 I should install it.

Not sure what to do, still doing research. Any advice is appreciated.
