The first upgrade we did was to lithium batteries three years ago. We still have the original FLA converter. I never upgraded that. I use the Charge Wizard button to put it in "BOOST" (14.4vdc) mode when boondocking to get a full charge while running the generator if we have to.
We have 800W of solar panels into a Victron 100/30 MPPT. It is set to lithium and tops them up to 100%.
One of the best things about lithium is, they charge FAST!!!!.
Normally on a sunny day the batteries are full before noon if we are boondocking and not running the generator (full sun, no clouds or shade).
