I REALLY APPRECIATE THE QUICK REPLIES. I found that the PD converter 4000 I have will NOT, HANDLE LITHIUM, LIPOF4, ETC batteries. Also, my solar charge controller may not handle either. So i am reluctant to put a lot of money in upgrading due to age of camper. I will likely go to 2 AGM Group 27 batteries, so if any suggestions on good ones of those let me know.
thanks again....will know now that there is more to it than meets the eye. I am glad I did not buy Lithium without checking.

Wrong, Someone is providing some thoroughly ‘unqualified’ advice (seems par for the course with ‘black box’ Li magic - lol)..Your PD 4000 series will do just fine with Lithium so long as you have the optional Charge Wizard dongle, and by merely switching it into the Boost Mode which is 14.4v - this is precisely how I charge my battery using a old school PD 9245, then simply discontinue the charging, and this is also why PD’s Li specific charger adds little value to the Li charging proposition (except for marketing $$ - because it never bleaping shuts down!!)...
The same is true with your solar charger(s) assuming that they can output 14.4v and can be switched off sometime after the charging cycle... 14.4v is the main criteria - truly a no brainer...To summarize, all you need is 14.4v and your PD 4000 series does this...
