What kind of battery charger?

I have a 2019 377 RLBH. What kind of battery charger comes stock? Single stage or 4 stage?

When plugged into 120v, open up the circuit breaker/ fuse panel and look for a green LED light (maybe red). That’s the Charge Wizard. Blinking, blinking slowly or solid and that will tell you what stage the charger is in. Consult your owner’s manual. If you plan on upgrading to Lithium batteries, you’lll have to change out the converter/charger. The vendor is Progressive Dynamics.

Hello, I have a Jayco 330RSTS trailer with a Progressive Dynamics PD4560 converter. I recently purchased 2 BattleBorn 100 AH Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. After discussions with both BattleBorn and PD I don't have to change my converter. When dry camping If I push the Wizard button on the converter it will charge the batteries to 14.4 volts to help top off the LI Batteries. The normal charging voltage is 13.6 and the BB batteries are fine with this. Ideally spending a couple hundred dollars and upgrading the converter is best because the charge voltage will remain 14.4 volts but, the PD4560 and Charge Wizard should do the job.

This is the LI replacement for mine. I would just need to replace the charger section if I want to upgrade. BattleBorn sells the PD upgrade.

How do you feel about your battery capacity? I am thinking about your exact setup. I am coming from 6 cheap wet cells with 528 amp/hours (although only 264 usable to the 50% level).
