The Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger, # PD9180ALV is a converter charger that changes AC shore power to DC power to run 12V loads and charge your lithium RV batteries when connected to an AC power source. The "AL" in the part number # PD9180ALV identifies this component as being for lithium chemistry batteries as opposed to the # PD9180A that works with flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries but not lithium. The "V" in ALV is simply identifying that it is available for individual sale, not just bulk.
Lithium-Ion batteries require battery chargers that can produce at higher voltage than provided by standard 12-volt lead/acid battery chargers. Trying to recharge a Lithium-Ion battery with a standard lead/acid charger will result in a partially charged battery.
For your 400 AH Battery Bank I suggest the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger, # PD9180ALV. This has reverse battery protection to protect from damage due to improper (reverse) battery lead connection. It delivers filtered DC power to the Lithium-Ion battery bank ensuring the built-in electronic balancing circuits operate properly. The electronic current limiting automatically reduces output voltage when maximum capacity is exceeded, this protects your battery bank.
The available Charge Wizard, # PD92201 upgrades the converter charger to automatically switch voltages while the battery bank charges. This accelerates the charge, but also helps extend battery life by adjusting the voltage during the different modes. The Charge Wizard simply connects to the TCMS port on the back of the converter charger.
