Expert Reply:
Lithium batteries do require a higher voltage when charging than non-lithium batteries so a converter like the part # PD9160ALV In order to properly charge your lithium batteries. If you could give the model number for your panel I could find a similar rated converter for you to avoid having to run thicker gauge wire.
Or if you wanted an all new panel you'd need one that is compatible with lithium and lead acid batteries like the Progressive Dynamics # PD4060K.
