Do not change to lithium batteries as your converter isn't made to charge them, they weren't even invented back then.
Actually lithium batteries can be charged from a standard OEM voltage converter.
There is ample evidence that charging lithiums at say 13.6 volts instead of 14.4 volts extends the lifespan of the battery.
