WFCO converter for lithium batteries
My camper has a 55amp WFCO power center. I see a module on their website to change it over for using with LiFe04 batteries. I expect the battery monitoring system in the “lead acid replacement” type l...

Read about 4 stage chargers. That will give you some clues.
Our batteries are much happier with the Progressive Dynamics. I don't have Lithium batteries yet. The Lithium's want 14 or so volt pounded into the batteries till full. KEN
AGMs require 14.x volts( where x depends on the specs of that AGM--some at 14.4ish some at 14.8ish) to be held all the way till they are full, indicated by amps tapered down to 0.5a/100AH of battery bank.
Flooded batteries also benefit from that charging profile.
That is not being "pounded". Batteries have a "natural acceptance rate" for amps absorption, which you see during the Absorption Stage as amps taper.
Stepping down to a lower "absorption voltage" before the battery is fully charged can lead to undercharging and sulphation.
