Lithium, solar and older converters
I have a '17 with a converter that will not charge lithium properly.
My question is can I add 100 to 200 watts solar and a 100 amp lithium battery and use the solar to "top up" the battery to 100%? Replacing the converter is beyond my skills and budget but I could add a direct lithium charger running on AC if I could figure how to disable the converter charging circuit.
To summarize my questions:
Will charging a lithium with a "standard lead battery" charger harm a lithium?
Will a solar setup "top up" a lithium when plugged into AC and solar at the same time?
