Anyone using lithium ion batteries?
Did you have to do anything to the way they get charged,?

Do we need a different converter if we switch to AGM batteries? I suspect not.I started with 6x100 amp hour lithium batteries from Battle Born and just removed those and upgraded to 3x210 amp hour lithium batteries from Battle Born.
Odds are high that you will have to replace your converter, as typically the standard converter doesn't have a lithium profile.
Here is the link to the 3x210ah batteries if interested.
This is the video link for the 6x100ah batteries. This video explains a lot of information on why moving to lithium was good for our camping lifestyle. If you simply go from RV park to RV park, save your money and get some nice AGM's. If you want to Boondock, then lithium is an amazing way to really stay out in the wild.

I always appreciate your detailed posts and videos of you projects. Very, very educational. Side note, your reference above to the 270ah batteries says 210ah batteries.

Yea...it varies between 30-40 (more toward 30ish) when we are in a sunny spot. Problem is, we are hardly ever in a sunny spot, so we opted to bring more amp hours in the 3x batteries vs trying (hoping) to add back to battery bank with solar. I also have a 200w portable system I built myself that brings in 9-10 amps.I have a question about your production. With your roughly 600 watts of panels, I would guess that would be about 36 amps total, I know that’s variable. How many ah on average are you putting back into the lithium batteries each day, assuming a sunny day. I have 600 watts of panels but lead acid batteries. So I wouldn’t get nearly as much.
