Can 55 amp Lithium Converter for WFCO RV Power Centers be Used for Charging Batteries 10 Away  

Question:

My lithium batteries are ten feet away from my wfco unit where I will be installing this unit. There is six gauge wiring to the batteries. Try pin to put out the full 55 amps, the voltage drop will mean this unit is putting out 14.1amps right? That is too low for lithium that wants 14.4 +/-2 amps? Or is it smart enough to adjust?

Expert Reply:

The Lithium Converter for WFCO RV Power Centers # PD4655LIV has a BMS (battery management system) which balances the cell voltage and senses the battery voltage to give you the best charge out there.

This unit will charge your lithium batteries but it won't be able to charge them to 100% capacity. For that you need to add the Redarc 40 amp BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D. This has a smart unit inside that actually boosts the voltage and sense when your batteries are at 100%.
