Hey Patrick, thanks for reaching out!

The Progressive Dynamics 4000 Series RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard # PD4060K is compatible with lithium batteries so you won't need to upgrade unless you have an older model that isn't compatible with lithium batteries.

I can definitely help you choose a replacement battery, but I'll need to know what the dimensions are as well as the amp hour rating found on your sticker. I'm attaching a link to our selection of lithium batteries you can filter through on your own as well.

I can add a second lithium battery under my bed I would just need to know where to connect the battery leads to in the PD4060 new series panel and what size li batteries should I go with I would need them to be able to start my generator too

@Patrick If you can let me know the dimensions of your current battery as well as the amp hour and cold crank ratings I can make a recommendation.

@Patrick In that case, we have the Bright Way Deep Cycle RV or Marine Battery # BRW94FR which is a Group 27 so it will fit perfectly in place of what you currently have. This is rated for 100 amp hours so you'll want to compare that to what your current battery is rated for as far as the life of your battery goes.
