I just replaced mine with the 9260ALV first charge was delivering 35 amps. I installed it in the original location.

Hello - I used the drop in lithium compatible Power Dynamics unit in my upgrade. I don’t know how to link it here but search my posts or this title 303RLS Lithium - Converter - DC DC Charger Upgrade
for the details. I was not ready for the added inverter/converter cost and for the type of camping we do right now it was a lot to do above what I’ve done already. So I opted for the drop in. I toyed with simply replacing it where it was but but being a bit ocd, and since I was doing a lot of work already and that I was eventually going to do more, I moved it into the battery compartment. It could have easily gone right where it was but ultimately I think it’s better where it is now. When I upgrade to the Victron multiplus later, the PD unit will come out since it won’t be needed anymore. I’ll drop in a pic here of the completed project but go to my post for more details. Let me know if you have any questions.

I start looking at lithium chargers. has anyone used the progressive dynamics drop in replacement?

Charger should go higher than 13.3V. At that it could barely charge some AGMs. Turn a light or few on and see if the charger will find another gear.

Bobsrv -- ncitro nailed it. The 9260C is not made to charge a LifePO4 battery (see pic from Progressive's website below).
A PD9160ALV might be what you need (please call Progressive to confirm as I am not knowledgeable of every possible variable): https://www.progressivedyn.com/pd9100l/

Ya, won't charge them because it was never made to. Need to install a lithium capable charger for your LiFePO4 battery.
