Switchover to Lifepo4 Question

EBKRV said:

I have a 2013 travel trailer that needs a new battery so I want to switch to lithium for those overnight stops and occasional 2 night boondocking trips when traveling. Going to purchase a 200ah LifePo4 and a WF-8950L2-MBA to replace the current lead acid charger in the stock WFCO8955...I don't have or want solar and don't need to charge the battery while driving as I will always have a generator with me to plug into to charge up the battery as 80% of our camping is on hookups. I have a 18 F150 as a tow vehicle. Do I need to do anything to the 7 pin connecting the trailer to the truck for the new lithium battery? I don't care about the small charge it may get from it and I don't want to install a DC to DC charger either I just don't want to harm the truck or new battery is all. Thanks Much everyone.

Not sure I fully understand when you say keep the systems separate from one another...as I don't want to change anything but drop in the lithium battery and I'm just changing out the stock WFCO Lead acid charger for a new WFCO Lithium charger so when I'm plugged into shore power or my portable genny the batteries will charge at the correct voltage.

Are your two systems (truck battery and trailer battery), currently tied together in any way?

Not unless I am towing and the 7 pin connector from the trailer is plugged into the truck
