Does My Converter Need To Be Replaced When Upgrading To Lithium liFePhos4 Batteries?
Updated 09/02/2025 | Published 08/15/2025
Question:
I am interested in replacing my normal flood battery for a liFePhos4 battery. I have a 2017 Winn 1710. Someone told me that my trailer might not be able to have that kind of a battery or I would need a special converter. Please advice.

Hello Colleen, thanks for reaching out. You will need a converter that is compatible with lithium liFePhos4 batteries. Lithium batteries require a slightly higher charging voltage, and not all converters are lithium compatible.
That said, I do not have a way to look up your RV to know exactly what model of converter you have now. There should be a sticker on your converter/power center with a model number. If you can share that model number with me I should be able to tell you if your converter is lithium compatible or not. We will most likely have a compatible replacement for you if needed so just let me know what you have and we can take it from there.
