Hi Michael; what kind of advice are you looking for? It is definitely possible to switch to lithium batteries like the Go Power Lithium RV Battery # 34282738. You will need to decide what size battery bank you need and see how much space you have for the batteries. There are some options like # GP26QR as well which can help save some space over multiple batteries.

You also need to check and see if your power center is lithium compatible. Since it is a 2022 you are on the edge of when they started making everything compatible so you might have to upgrade. It looks like those SolarFlex components are lithium compatible as well but I would double check depending on when it was installed.
