Everything to Consider When Switching Your RV to Lithium Batteries

Lithium batteries charge much faster because they accept a very high charge current, while also having less internal resistance to charging. In contrast, lead-acid batteries require a longer, slower charging cycle (with Bulk, Acceptance, and then Float phases) to reach 100% state of charge (fully recharged). Capable of Sustaining Deep Discharges. Lithium-ion
