Comparing The Progressive Dynamics PD9130LV And PD49RR Converters

Question:

I would like to use lithium batteries in my camper. It currently has a Progressive Dynamics PD9130 converter. Would a Progressive Dynamics 9300 Series RV Converter Charger - 12V - 30A work or would a PD9130LV be better. I like the flexibility the 9300 gives me. Thanks

Since the Progressive Dynamics 9300 Series RV Converter Charger # PD49RR can work with both lead acid and lithium batteries it's going to be the better option over the Progressive Dynamics 9100 Inteli-Power Lithium Converter # PD9130LV, which is only lithium compatible. If you wait to buy the lithium batteries or decide later on you want to switch back to lead acid you won't have to purchase a new converter in order to be compatible.
