2021 X213 converter question.

My lady and I just ordered a '21 X213 and I'm planning to upgrade the battery to a LiFePo4 before the camping season starts. We are going to be almost exclusively boondocking in the mountains and I have been directed to ensure she never goes cold....(uh huh).

Question is: Do the converters on newer TTs have a setting to charge LiFePo4 batteries when on shore or gen power?

Also, does something need to be done to the trailer in regards to charging the battery from the tow vehicle when changing to a this type battery?

Thanks!

Yes, in this picture you will a sterling Battery to battery charger, when you are moving your unit it will charge your lithium ion phosphate battery's or any other battery for that, its programable, this is my set up--also works with and plays well with solar which i have also, and also have a house charging unit that charges these type of batterys when plugged into shore power--last picture. The house unit was just a 5 wire swap out--works great. I would also suggest a 2000 watt inverter generator--portable red unit about 499.in your case to use when you have to boone-docking
