Hi, everyone. I'm upgrading my current system, which is the stock one that comes with a 1997 Four Winds rig, to one that includes lithium batteries.
I've settled on the Ampere Times 200ah battery for its cost-effectiveness (< $1k) and low-profile:
12V 200Ah Lithium Iron LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery, Built-in 100A BMS, 2000+ Cycles, 280amp Max
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088RM4W48/?tag=rvf01-20
Now I need a lithium charger. At the same time, I'd like it to be an inverter. For that to work seamlessly, it should have a transfer switch built in. Here is one with the wattage and price I want.
AIMS Power PICOGLF12W12V120AL Green 1250W Power Inverter Charger with Transfer Switch
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076ZQ9TP2/?tag=rvf01-20
So far, the same unit has:
• a charger
• an inverter
• a transfer switch
Here is my question: do I need to upgrade the converter that comes with the RV? It's the Model 6345 that has been retrofitted with the 7345 RU electronics:
Any input is appreciated!
