Solution for MagneTek 7345 Converter with Lithium Batteries

Published 03/14/2022

Question:

Hello, Im not sure if this is the right question or if Im wording it correctly but I sure hope you can help me. I switched to a Lithium battery Lion Energy, Safari UT 1300 and recently found out that I need to change the trailer converter so that itll work with the new type of battery. The current converter unit I have is- MagneTek 45 AMP, Series 7300Model 7345. For more information see attached photo. Please advise me as to what to use for a replacement? I have trickle chargers for other batteries, Vespa scooter, etc. but so Ill need a new charger for this lithium battery so could you please provide a recommendation for this also? Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide,

Your current converter does not have a lithium battery replacement converter section available for it.

You would need to completely replace your power center with one like the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 45 Amp # PD4045KA. This 2-in-1 AC/DC distribution panel and converter charger keeps your power systems easily accessible inside the RV. It works with lithium and lead acid batteries by using a custom charging profile for lithium and multistage charging for lead acid.
