New 2 stage PD lithium Converter charger yet?
When I installed lithium batteries 18 months ago I also changed out my converter charger. I didn't want it constantly charging 14.4 volts. so I returned it and have been using my original PD convert...
Forum Discussion
Note that I am not advocating for leaving the LFP connected while on shore power with an active converter.
I am commenting on how the converter makers see the problem, where they assume the converter will be on during shore power time ( nearly all the time for most RVers AFAIK), and they have to be sure a connected LFP won't be ruined during that time. (They do not imagine the RVer disconnecting the LFP)
So their various attempts to make the converter "compatible".
Guys on Tech Issues are not like most RVers? which means they are more likely to be willing to do a few things instead of being totally automatic and hands free?
Just saying that so far IMO it seems the converter makers have not solved their problem of making their converters totally "compatible" with LFP (something of a moving goal post itself for what is needed?)
I did say their converters are not totally compatible with FLA and AGM either, but the penalty in dollars for the RVer who treats them as such is low compared with the penalty cost of doing that with LFPs.
The OP is trying to get as close as he can to hands free by maybe swapping out his converter, but it seems like he is as good as it gets now with his OEM converter, unless he wants to do more manually himself.
