Hello,

I am planning on purchasing 2023 R Pod 196. I currently own a Battle-Born Lithium Battery, I had it for 2 years and been using it off/on on my old RV. On a new R Pod 196, would there be any issues with using the lithium battery (100 amp hour 12 volt LiFePO4). My old RV was able to charge the battery while towing and thru the docking station. The dealers is providing me with a AGM, and prefer to use the lithium, especially if I plan to go off grid for any length of time.

Thanks!

Zigman (new to the R Pod Family)

Shouldn't be a problem if your charger/converter has a lithium setting. Also, your TV alternator will need to know that the coach has a lithium battery or the R196 will need a DC-to-DC converter.
