Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries

[eryerson]

I just purchased 3 100ah LiPo batteries from Renogy for our 2020 Momentum. Does anyone know if the onboard charging system via the Onan generator is compatible with this battery type or am I forced to use the Inverter / Charger from Renogy to charge the new battery bank? Thanks!

Hi Eryserson. Welcomt to the techie forum for GDRV.

I'm running 3 Battleborn LiFePO4 batteries myself. The onboard converter from WFCO can charge the batteries sufficiently to get the batteries up to a usable level. But a dedicated LiFePo4 battery charger can do the job much faster and will bring the batteries up to a full charge. A good LifePo4 converter From Progressive Dynamics or Boondocker will run you about $250. If you're interested in changing, let us know your current model and we can recommend the appropriately sized alternative.

Ok, Thanks TucsonJim - really appreciate it! I will hook them up and we will see how it goes.
