Lithium Battery - replacing standard

[Mike123]

All,

Can anyone confirm if you can replace a standard leisure battery with a lithium battery without any modifications.

Current battery is being charged via solar panel via a E500 Sargent Controller

Thanks in advance

Yes you can so long as your charger has a Lithium profile, the vehicle is fitted with a Battery to Battery charger and if solar is installed that the regulator has a lithium profile

Thanks for the feedback - bit of research to do then first.

Having recently changed our MH to lithium, I would start with the assumption - No, you can't.

A lot of research. Perhaps, starting with what type of 'standard' leisure battery do you have? What are the settings on your three battery chargers?
